Patient's question:
When I was a child, my foreskin was a bit too long. Since I was young at the time, I didn't have surgery. I want to ask what problems can occur if the foreskin is not removed?Doctor's answer:
Hinders the growth and development of the penis, affects the harmony of sexual life. Phimosis hinders the growth and development of the penis. During puberty, the glans is tightly covered by the foreskin and cannot receive the necessary external stimulation, severely restricting the growth and development of the glans, resulting in a significantly smaller circumference of the glans crown after the sexual organs have matured, affecting sexual pleasure. Adults may experience difficulties in normal sexual life due to excessive foreskin or phimosis. Especially for men with very small foreskin orifice, the foreskin cannot return to its original position when retracted, and the foreskin is tightly trapped at the corona, forming a paraphimosis, causing great pain. In severe cases, the glans may swell again due to poor blood flow, and even glans necrosis may occur.
