Patient's question:
My husband seems to have a condition called phimosis, but he won't go to the hospital for treatment. I don't know what he's thinking, but I'd like to ask what phimosis is and what kind of impact it might have. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias is mostly congenital. Due to the lack of timely detection and correction of the phenomenon where the foreskin does not retract early on, phimosis can occur. During puberty, men should pay attention to whether their foreskin can retract to reveal the glans. If it cannot, it should be corrected promptly. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene, clean and disinfect regularly, and frequently change clothes and towels. Wear loose cotton pants. If the condition is severe, it is best to seek medical attention at a formal hospital. Do not self-medicate blindly.
