Does phimosis affect future fertility?

Patient's question:

Penis enlargement, phimosis, how to deal with it? Will it affect future life? Will it affect future fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure with little risk. It is not necessary for everyone with a long foreskin to undergo surgery. However, if there is phimosis, frequent inflammation, or irritation from smegma, surgical treatment is required. Maintain local hygiene to prevent secondary infection, and use povidone-iodine for disinfection.
Oral antibiotic treatment, such as ciprofloxacin, may be administered. With the above treatments, infections are generally controllable. If there is recurrent inflammation or if it affects erection, surgical treatment should be considered. Surgical procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia and take about 15 minutes to complete.
