Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's wrong, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. I'm asking, how long does the foreskin need to be for surgery to be necessary?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when the foreskin covers the glans but can be freely flipped upward, it is called phimosis. The hazards of phimosis are multifaceted, such as:1. It is prone to urinary system diseases, such as balanitis,, and urethritis.
2. It can cause pain during intercourse: the glans becomes sensitive and retracted, further leading to sexual dysfunction such as impotence, premature ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, and anejaculation.
3. It affects male infertility and may cause gynecological diseases in women, such as cervical dysplasia, etc. It is recommended to seek professional urological hospital for circumcision at an early stage.
