Patient's question:
My foreskin is not sure if it's long, the glans can be exposed every time during sexual intercourse. Whether it is necessary to have surgery, whether it is better after surgery.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted, can lead to the accumulation of pollution within the foreskin, even resulting in the formation of stones. This can cause balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin) and meatal stenitis (inflammation of the external urethral orifice). The inflammation narrows the external urethral orifice, causing urinary obstruction and potentially leading to urinary tract infections. It can also trigger penile cancer. Treatment for phimosis often involves circumcision. Excessive foreskin can also undergo this procedure; if surgery is not performed, it is important to maintain cleanliness and frequently retract and clean the foreskin.
