Patient's question:
Many men believe that the foreskin does not interfere with their daily lives and do not value it. This is incorrect because an overly long foreskin that is not properly cleaned can become inflamed, which can lead to a series of problems. Under what circumstances is circumcision necessary?Doctor's answer:
1. Due to phimosis being beneficial for local hygiene and cleanliness, circumcision surgery should be implemented.2. Phimosis with an excessively narrow opening requires surgical treatment for urine flow.
3. In adult phimosis, the inability to reveal the glans during erection determines the need for surgical treatment.
4. Due to phimosis, recurrent local infections, or adhesions between the foreskin and glans, surgical treatment is necessary.
5. Indurated phimosis is an emergency treatment in urology. Circumcision surgery is essential.
