Patient's question:
We just got married recently. Because of the condition of phimosis, which hasn't been very severe, we haven't had surgery. I'm worried it might affect fertility. If we can't get my wife pregnant, that would be a problem. Do we need to have surgery for this? Does phimosis affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If phimosis is severe, it can affect fertility. With the advancement of modern medicine, phimosis can be surgically treated at a hospital. After the surgery, it is recommended to rest for about two months to prevent frequent erections. Many anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally to prevent inflammation and infection. It is advised to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital and choose an appropriate treatment method. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy and stimulating foods.
