Patient's question:
I haven't had sexual experience yet, nor have I been in a relationship with a girlfriend. However, recently I've been seeing advertisements and newspapers that mention some harms related to phimosis and balanitis. I've also become a bit worried. When I went to the public bathhouse in winter, I noticed that some men had shorter foreskins than mine, so I'm also concerned about potential sexual difficulties in the future.Doctor's answer:
In cases of phimosis, the glans penis is always tightly covered by the foreskin in a non-erect state, and it may only be revealed during erection or by manually retracting the foreskin. In cases of paraphimosis, even with manual assistance, the foreskin cannot be retracted to reveal the glans penis. Under these conditions, it is more prone for smegma to accumulate in the foreskin, and it is also difficult to remove completely. Therefore, it is not surprising that patients with phimosis or paraphimosis frequently experience recurrent balanitis. If you have phimosis or paraphimosis, it is crucial to seek medical attention early for circumcision. Additionally, during the treatment of urological conditions, the patient's dietary status and care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. ，。，。
