Patient's question:
When I was young, I noticed that my son's foreskin was quite long, and I thought that it might naturally improve as he grew older. However, last night when I took my son to the bathroom for a bath, I discovered that his foreskin condition had actually worsened. It was completely covering the head of his penis, and when I lifted the foreskin, there was some dirt inside. I thought about taking my son for surgery, but he doesn't want to have the surgery. Can phimosis be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hygiene issues caused by excessive foreskin can irritate the glans, leading to recurrent balanitis and posthitis. Downward transmission may result in conditions such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. It may also cause issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Surgical treatment is necessary for a complete cure, as medication has no effect. It is recommended to consult a reputable hospital for follow-up treatment.
