Patient's question:
What is the purpose of circumcision? Is it for phimosis or for the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The foreskin and glans, due to the inability to be exposed and remain in a moist environment for a long time, are prone to bacterial growth, leading to balanitis (inflammation of the glans). This inflammation can easily cause the re-adhesion of the foreskin and glans. In severe cases, inflammation may cause the glans to enlarge or disappear. The treatment method is circumcision to expose the glans. Hello, if there is adhesion between the foreskin and glans, it is advisable to undergo circumcision to resolve the adhesion. Additionally, during the treatment of foreskin adhesion, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important.
