Patient's question:
In two more months, I'm getting married. I have a condition called phimosis, which was mentioned during the pre-marital health check-up. They recommended surgery, but 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 get it done, I'm concerned it might affect my life after marriage and could also lead to gynecological issues for my partner.Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin is first of all unhygienic, as it can easily harbor bacteria, which may lead to penile cancer (though the probability is very low). It can also easily cause gynecological diseases in sexual partners, such as vaginitis and cervical erosion. Additionally, some patients with excessive foreskin may experience impaired development of the penis. It is recommended that you undergo a circumcision procedure promptly. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm that phimosis can cause to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues—maintain a light diet and avoid foods. Moreover, it is advisable to follow up regularly when necessary.
