What should I do if a part of the glans and foreskin are fused together?

Patient's question:

Since childhood
The glans and a small part of the foreskin are fused together, and they cannot be separated, causing the glans to not fully expose and remain fused with the foreskin. What is this problem?

Doctor's answer:

You described phimosis and paraphimosis, which can easily lead to infection. It is recommended to undergo circumcision or laser treatment. After the surgery, use a small amount of potassium permanganate powder to mix with water for a sit bath. For adults, taking a small dose of estrogen can prevent penile erection and bleeding, as well as infection. I believe everyone knows that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
