Patient's question:
I came to the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up visit due to frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. It turned out that I have phimosis. Up to now, I have no children, but my wife checked carefully and found no problems. However, due to embarrassment, he has never gone to the hospital for a thorough examination and has lived like this for more than half his life. What kind of help is needed: How to prevent phimosis in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to sexually transmitted diseases because many times they do not present symptoms of urethritis. First, what appears are balanitis or balanoposthitis, or balanitis ulcers. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Daily personal hygiene should be maintained. Men with phimosis should wash their glans and foreskin daily, promptly clean the smegma caused by the foreskin, prevent inflammation from recurring, and ensure that the washing method is correct.
