Patient's question:
Doctor, I recently discovered that there seems to be a problem with my genitalia, but I don't really want to go to the hospital for treatment. It makes me feel sad and embarrassed. I don't know if it's possible not to treat it. What are the consequences of not treating phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias is generally divided into two types: phimosis and paraphimosis. If it is just phimosis, it can be addressed through hygiene practices and careful observation. However, if it is paraphimosis, untreated it can lead to insufficient sperm discharge distance and changes in local function. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, if left untreated, it generally affects the difficulty of conception.
