Patient's question:
What does it mean for a man to have his foreskin cut? Why do men have their foreskin cut? What does it mean for a man to have his foreskin cut? Why do men have their foreskin cut?Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis does not necessarily require surgical resection. As long as the glans can be retracted and cleaned daily, surgery is not needed.But paraphimosis definitely requires surgery. Paraphimosis refers to a condition where the glans cannot be exposed during erection, nor can it be retracted by hand. In this case, surgery is necessary because the penis cannot be cleaned properly, leading to inflammation, balanoposthitis (infection of the glans and foreskin), and even the risk of penile cancer.
