Patient's question:
I have phimosis and my prepuce is too long, but when I pull it back to expose the glans during erection, the glans is still exposed. In this case, does it still require circumcision?Doctor's answer:
This condition is called phimosis. As long as local hygiene is maintained consistently, surgery is not necessary for treatment. If phimosis is present and recurrent balanoposthitis occurs, surgery is indicated. If the condition does not recur, surgery can be avoided, but attention should be paid to cleaning to prevent reinfection. Phimosis can be resolved, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
