Patient's question:
Where should I go to have a circumcision? How can phimosis be treated effectively? My foreskin is a bit long. But I have a strong sex drive. Last year, I started doing it every time and felt very satisfied. The woman was also satisfied. I heard that having a long foreskin is very necessary for surgery. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
Due to excessive secretion of the prepuce that cannot be cleaned promptly and thoroughly, bacteria can grow and adapt here. The secretion of the prepuce will increase, leading to preputial scales, odor, and severe local inflammation, known as balanitis. On the other hand, bacteria can also spread backward upward to the urethra, prostate, seminal vesicle, epididymis, and testis. Additionally, it can also be transmitted through sexual contact. Bacteria can spread to the other party, causing conditions such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis in women. Therefore, from a current medical perspective, circumcision is better than not circumcising.
