Does phimosis require surgery?

Patient's question:

Excess foreskin, and not having it circumcised, then during subsequent growth and development, should the foreskin be retracted or left covering the penis?

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias, as seen in the image, there is redness and white discharge on the glans, with possible local itching? Recommendation: Based on the image, the excessive prepuce may have caused balanitis and accompanied by narrowing. It is best to undergo a prepuce circumcision surgery in a public hospital. After the surgery, maintain local cleanliness and hygiene. Excessive prepuce can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should have a light diet.
