Patient's question:
I previously had the condition of phimosis, as my prepuce was too long, which has interfered with normal life. Many times, I wanted to have surgery to treat it, but because I was afraid of the pain, I didn't go. However, it now severely interferes with my sexual life after marriage, so I want to have surgery. I would like to consult about the cost of treating phimosis.Doctor's answer:
Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure that can be completed smoothly with local anesthesia, with minimal bleeding. The goal of the treatment is to remove excess foreskin and relieve adhesions. The cost of circumcision varies for each individual. Circumcision can reduce the incidence of balanitis, similar to how appendectomy removes the appendix. Generally, the standards of hospitals in different areas vary, and the choice depends on the severity of the patient's condition and the difficulty of the surgery. It is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Based on the examination results, the doctor will determine the treatment plan.
