Patient's question:
I have a problem with phimosis. This was mentioned during the pre-marital examination, and it was recommended to have surgery. I am a bit worried because I have never had surgery before and don't know if it will be successful. If I don't have it done, I worry it will affect my life after marriage and also affect my partner, potentially causing gynecological issues.Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce redundancy can be divided into true prepuce redundancy and false prepuce redundancy. True prepuce redundancy refers to a condition where the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect. False prepuce redundancy means that the glans cannot be fully exposed at rest, but it can be fully exposed after the penis is erect. Men with prepuce redundancy should seek medical treatment early for circumcision. For non-inflammatory prepuce redundancy, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the prepuce is regularly retracted and cleaned.
