Patient's question:
Phimosis severely affects the quality of sexual life. Life without confidence.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is narrow and cannot be retracted to expose the glans penis. If phimosis is severe, it may cause difficulty in urination or even urinary retention. When smegma accumulates, there may be a pruritic sensation on the glans penis. Long-term chronic irritation can lead to infections, cancer, leukoplakia, and calculus formation. Phimosis can affect the development of the male penis, often resulting in a condition where the penis appears short. During normal sexual intercourse, the length of the penis may not meet the woman's expectations, thereby affecting sexual quality of life. This can lead to disharmony during sexual activity, reduced libido, and ultimately impact the duration of sexual activity.
