Patient's question:
I have a long foreskin and have chosen to retract it to expose the glans. However, it's very painful due to friction. I want to ask what should be done if it's phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal hyperplasia easily leads to the accumulation of smegma, which, when chronically stimulated, can cause balanitis and balanoposthitis, especially in the corona region. Additionally, prolonged stimulation of the glans can increase its sensitivity, leading to premature ejaculation. During sexual activity, it is also prone to recurrent phimosis. From the perspective of preventing transmission and improving sexual quality, it is recommended to undergo circumcision at an early stage. This promotes hygiene, health, and development, significantly enhances sexual quality, has no side effects, is safe and convenient, allows for same-day treatment and discharge, typically with a full recovery within 7-10 days, and does not interfere with normal training or practice, as long as heavy physical labor is avoided.
