Patient's question:
Earlier, I dated a girl, and our relationship was quite serious. Then we got divorced. Before the divorce, we hadn't done anything. Now that we've just split up, I thought my sex life would soon return. But I realized I have phimosis. What are the dangers of phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis, where the glans is tightly retracted, reduces the ability to perceive sexual pleasure. Moreover, if the foreskin is forcibly retracted during intercourse, it may cause pain or recurrent retraction. In severe cases, it can lead to compromised blood supply to the glans and even glans necrosis. This condition can cause severe problems with the foreskin and glans, potentially spreading to other organs and leading to more perinatal urological infections. Phimosis can interfere with the normal growth and development of the penis and easily affect male sexual function. Men with phimosis should pay attention to seeking medical treatment early for surgery to avoid impacting their health.This is an outpatient procedure that can be successfully completed under local anesthesia. The primary goal is to remove excess foreskin, loosen adhesions, and perform debridement. Once these steps are completed, the surgery is successfully finished.
