Patient's question:
Male, 24. When my penis is not erect, most of the time it is tightly covered by the foreskin. After erection, the glans cannot naturally protrude but can be pulled behind it. Hello, is this situation something that requires a circumcision? Is it true that after circumcision, the glans will be exposed long-term, which can reduce its sensitivity and shorten sexual intercourse time? Besides circumcision, will it have bad effects on future sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the urethral meatus but can be retracted to reveal the urethral meatus and glans penis. Treatment for phimosis often involves circumcision. If surgery is not performed, it is important to maintain cleanliness and regularly retract and clean the foreskin. For patients, if the condition of andrological diseases is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of andrological diseases. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
