Patient's question:
I would like to ask you for advice. My boyfriend has been experiencing soft or insufficient hardness of his penis during sex, making it impossible for him to penetrate my body. Recently, I noticed he has phimosis. Could this be the reason? Would surgery help? I'm too afraid to ask him directly, fearing he might take it personally, but what should I do? I'm not sure if this counts as ED. Please help me. Could phimosis lead to premature ejaculation? What kind of help do you need: Could phimosis lead to premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is when the foreskin is too long and the opening is too small, preventing the head of the penis from being exposed, which may require surgical removal of the foreskin. If you haven't had sexual experience yet and have had successful intercourse many times, it's not a major issue. The key is for both partners to communicate closely and address the problem directly. If attempts are made multiple times without success, it's recommended to seek a professional medical consultation at a hospital, preferably a public one. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
