Should phimosis be circumcised?

Patient's question:

A piece of meat is connected to the glans.

Doctor's answer:

In a normal flaccid state, the foreskin completely covers the glans, but during erection, it may either remain covering the glans or retract to expose it. This condition is known as phimosis. Otherwise, if the glans cannot be exposed during erection or requires forceful retraction to be revealed, it may be diagnosed as paraphimosis. Phimosis should be surgically treated in a timely manner, as it may affect penile development, leading to premature ejaculation, or other adverse conditions such as phimotic constriction, edema, and necrosis.
Guidelines:
It is recommended that you visit a hospital and consult a urologist for further diagnosis. Once a clear diagnosis is made, targeted treatment can be administered, such as circumcision, anti-inflammatory supportive therapy, and attention to hygiene. Frequent cleaning and regular changing of underwear are also important.
