Patient's question:
Now every day, I talk to my girlfriend, and I always feel very sad because she might betray me because of my phimosis and paraphimosis issues. I didn't get surgery in time when I was a child. Now, I want to get surgery. I want to ask how to treat phimosis and paraphimosis?Doctor's answer:
The only treatment for phimosis and paraphimosis is circumcision to remove the excessive foreskin. Circumcision is a minor surgery. It is recommended to seek timely treatment at the urology department of a public hospital. Dietary restrictions and nutritional attention are important after circumcision. Postoperatively, carefully observe the wound for any discharge, take oral antibiotics to prevent wound infection, prevent penile erection, and prevent the wound from opening. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the urethra but the urethral meatus and glans can still be exposed. This condition is related to heredity and can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. Patients with phimosis should undergo surgical treatment at an early stage. For non-inflammatory phimosis, it is not necessary to have surgery as long as the foreskin is frequently retracted and cleaned.
