Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask you a question. I have been divorced from my wife for at least a year, and my mother has been wanting a grandson for a long time. However, she hasn't been able to get pregnant and doesn't know why. I just want to ask if phimosis can affect fertility.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if sexual life is normal, simple phimosis will basically never interfere with fertility. There are many reasons that can lead to infertility again, involving both male and female factors. Therefore, if treatment is needed, both partners should be treated together to achieve the best therapeutic effect. The main interference caused by phimosis is that it can lead to infections of the reproductive organs. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a circumcision procedure to treat it.
