Patient's question:
It seems like my husband might have phimosis, but he doesn't go to the hospital for treatment. I don't know what he's thinking. I'd like to ask, what exactly is phimosis? Will it have any impact? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The foreskin must be discussed in terms of the structure of the male external genitalia. The most prominent part of the male external genitalia is the penis, which has thin and movable skin. The skin of the penis folds into two layers at the penis, called the foreskin. During puberty, the penis grows in size and length, and the foreskin retracts backward, exposing the head of the penis in adulthood. After foreskin-reducing surgery, urinate promptly to avoid urinary retention. It is best to rest for 1-2 days, and you can rest in bed. Avoid sexual stimulation and fantasy, as well as holding in urine. Avoid getting the dressing wet when urinating. Avoid sexual activity for at least one month after surgery to prevent the incision from splitting or bleeding.
