Patient's question:
10-year-old boy, phimosis, unable to retract the glans. I want to understand which surgical method has a better prognosis. The doctor in my hometown said to bring a ring-shaped object to strangulate it. This is said to be the first time I've heard of this surgical method, so I came especially to seek advice and consultation!Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. Excessive foreskin and phimosis are potential problems that will eventually arise. They can lead to infections, inflammation, uncleanliness, spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and transmission of pathogens to women. In some cases, individuals may also develop penile cancer. Therefore, internationally, it is currently recommended to have the foreskin removed to prevent future complications.The surgery for phimosis and excessive foreskin is entirely beneficial with no drawbacks! It is a minor procedure, very simple, with minimal risks, and highly safe. There's no need to overworry about it! If you decide to have the surgery, make sure to go to a reputable hospital and avoid unprofessional practices.
The condition of phimosis and excessive foreskin can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Moreover, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
