Patient's question:
I feel like there might be an issue with my penis, specifically that the head of my penis doesn't seem to be able to fully show, even when erect—it only shows a little bit. If I pull it hard, it a bit hurts. I'm not sure if this condition is considered phimosis or paraphimosis.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis can be painful, with the glans not exposed, generally requiring surgical treatment. Simple medication is often ineffective, but minimally invasive surgery can be an option. After surgery, it's important to avoid spicy foods and prevent infection. As everyone knows, phimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it's crucial to seek treatment promptly. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding stimulating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments may be necessary when needed.
