What are the hazards of phimosis?

Patient's question:

I vaguely remember that it has been this condition for quite some time, but recently, while taking a bath, I realized that the situation might be a bit serious. I always feel itchy where the foreskin is covering, and it's hard to pull it back. I need to understand the problem well. Hello, what are the dangers of phimosis?

Doctor's answer:

The patient's condition should be considered phimosis, and there has been a recurrence of abnormal symptoms such as balanitis. Secondary infections caused by phimosis are present because the foreskin is prone to harboring bacteria and fungi, which increases the likelihood of inflammation. It is crucial to clean the area promptly and maintain a non-sensitive glans to ensure cleanliness. Surgical treatment may be considered if necessary, with the removal of the foreskin.
