What is phimosis?

Patient's question:

I'm really, really in pain. Because, it feels like there's something blocking it down there, and I realized it's phimosis entrapment. I thought about it and still decided to come here to ask what phimosis entrapment is? I want to know the severity of this issue. Thanks

Doctor's answer:

The meaning of phimosis entrapment is that the foreskin undergoes movement again and cannot return to its original position, leading to recurrent swelling. If phimosis occurs again, it is necessary to actively restore the foreskin to its original position gradually. If necessary, you can consider visiting the urology department of a Class III-A hospital in your local area and ask the doctor for assisted repositioning. Prolonged entrapment may cause swelling and may even lead to a secondary purulent infection.
