Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling uncomfortable in my testicles recently, and I felt too embarrassed to mention it, so I secretly went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor told me I have phimosis. I'm also too embarrassed to say, but what are the dangers of partial phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you said, phimosis is relatively common in males, characterized by a narrow preputial orifice that cannot be retracted to reveal the glans penis. In this condition, phimosis not only affects the growth and development of the penis but also can lead to urinary and reproductive system disorders. In severe cases, it may even result in the recurrence of penile cancer. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, consume more foods that clear heat and detoxify, and avoid spicy and alcoholic foods.
