Patient's question:
Since childhood, I've had a bit of phimosis, but I've never had it treated. Recently, I heard that phimosis can interfere with future fertility, so I'm very worried. I don't know if I need to have surgery.Doctor's answer:
If a child's phimosis is severe, it is recommended to carefully observe and consider circumcision. If the glans penis is tightly locked under the foreskin for a long time, it may lead to poor penile development after puberty and interfere with sexual life. Currently, circumcision is performed using minimally invasive surgery, and it usually takes about 7 days to fully recover, so there is no need to worry about damaging normal function. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment.
