Patient's question:
I have congenital micropenis and have been accustomed to the habit of phimosis for three or four years. What should I do about micropenis and phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce is when the prepuce completely covers the glans of the penis, and the glans cannot naturally protrude, but the prepuce can move during cleaning, sexual intercourse, and urination. Phimosis refers to a condition where the prepuce not only covers the glans but also cannot be retracted to expose it. Due to chronic irritation from urine and smegma over a long period, prepuce and glans mucosa may become edematous, congested, disordered, and prone to repeated cross-infection, even leading to recurrent phimosis or necrosis of the prepuce and glans, resulting in severe consequences. Additionally, it can transmit pathogens to the female during sexual intercourse. It is recommended to undergo surgery as early as possible to avoid inflammation and its impact on health. Male diseases can cause significant harm to patients, so once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
