Patient's question:
What causes phimosis? What causes phimosis? What causes phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis adhesion refers to a condition where the foreskin is too long or too tight, and when forcibly retracted, it cannot return to its original position promptly. The tight foreskin acts like a tight ring, constricting the posterior corona of the glans. Below the point of entrapment, blood circulation and lymphatic are significantly obstructed, leading to local edema and making repositioning even more difficult. If entrapment persists for a long time, the glans penis may become purple, swollen, or even purulent due to cerebral edema. In severe cases of phimosis adhesion, circumcision may be necessary for treatment. If there is no adhesion, manual treatment can be attempted. This condition is not easily recoverable. Friends with phimosis adhesion should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in overcoming the condition and believe that recovery is certain.
