Patient's question:
I have excess foreskin and need surgery now. My foreskin has hardened, and I have high blood sugar. Can I have the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Now I have phimosis and want to undergo circumcision. My blood sugar level is high, and I want to understand the relevant information. High blood sugar levels can interfere with postoperative wound healing, even preventing scarring. Therefore, medication is administered before surgery to lower blood sugar to the normal range, and the surgery is performed only after stabilization. Postoperatively, medication suppression is also necessary, as long-term high blood sugar can lead to many complications reappearing, which is harmful to the body. Phimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment time is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment is essential during the treatment.
