Patient's question:
In two more months, I'm going to get married. I have a condition called phimosis, which was mentioned during the pre-marital health check-up. It's recommended that I have surgery for it. I'm a bit worried because I've never had surgery before and don't know if it will be successful. If I don't have it done, I'm also worried that it will affect my life after marriage and potentially cause gynecological issues for my partner.Doctor's answer:
Hygiene is the first issue with excessive foreskin, as it can easily harbor bacteria and increase the risk of penile cancer (though this probability is very low). It can also make sexual partners more susceptible to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervical erosion. Additionally, some patients with excessive foreskin may experience impaired penis development. It is recommended that you undergo a circumcision procedure promptly.As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary habits, focusing on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Moreover, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
