How should the surgery for phimosis be handled?

Patient's question:

Circumcision surgery? Recently my glans has been itchy very badly, and I can't help but scratch it consciously or unconsciously. In these days, the glans has also repeatedly appeared red and swollen. I've started to feel upset, and the doctor at the hospital said it's balanitis caused by excessive prepuce. How should excessive prepuce be treated?

Doctor's answer:

For those with phimosis and excessive prepuce, it is recommended to undergo circumcision before marriage. After treatment, sexual activity can be resumed. For those who do not undergo this treatment, it is necessary to maintain local hygiene of the penis before and after sexual intercourse. Additionally, maintain lubrication in the genital area during sexual activity, and avoid vigorous movements to prevent recurrent phimotic entrapment or frenulum rupture. You can visit regular or Class III-A hospitals for thorough examination and treatment. Lifestyle adjustment is crucial; if possible, avoid overtime work. Moderate physical exercise is highly beneficial for enhancing physical fitness and restoring health. Avoid using unproven home remedies.
