Patient's question:
Doctor, my foreskin is very long. I'm usually busy with work and often forget to clean it. As a result, I occasionally get balanitis. I want to get treatment. How is phimosis treated?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis is not uncommon in clinical diagnosis of urology, caused by congenital developmental issues. Due to the long foreskin tightly covering the glans for an extended period, it becomes difficult to gradually clean the glans and foreskin, making it prone to recurrent inflammation and infection, leading to repeated cases of balanoposthitis. Medication is ineffective, and patients should seek early re-examination at a reputable public hospital's urology department. Specialized doctors should perform circumcision surgery.
