Patient's question:
The cost of circumcision is too high. The students have phimosis and paraphimosis. They say they need to be treated for a period of time. I don't think it's necessary to have that surgery. I'm afraid there will be postoperative complications. But if the students don't do what they want to do in the future, it will interfere with marriage. It's really serious.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to the foreskin tightly covering the entire head of the penis. The glans cannot naturally be exposed, but it can be retracted during cleaning, sexual activity, and intercourse. Phimosis refers to the foreskin not only covering the glans but also being unable to retract, which may require surgical intervention before the penis has fully developed because phimosis can hinder the growth of the penis and easily lead to adhesion. Conditions such as infections, injuries, or repeated irritation of the glans may also cause recurrent episodes of glans inflammation. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination. Phimosis should be surgically corrected as soon as possible. Wishing you good health!
