Patient's question:
I have phimosis, and I've never told my girlfriend about it because I was afraid she would be bothered. Recently, I heard that phimosis can affect sexual quality of life, and I was very scared. If my girlfriend has objections after marriage, what treatment should I undergo for my phimosis?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation, active treatment is recommended for phimosis. Phimosis refers to the prepuce covering the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis, but it is often accompanied by balanoposthitis. Phimosis can cause premature ejaculation, and it is treated through progressive delay training. Balanoposthitis refers to the narrowing of the preputial orifice or adhesion between the prepuce and glans penis, which prevents the prepuce from retracting and exposing the urethral meatus and glans penis.Advice: Due to the inability of the prepuce to retract in balanoposthitis, it can accumulate a significant amount of pollution, even leading to the formation of stones, which may cause balanitis and posthitis, urethritis externa. Inflammation can narrow the external urethral meatus, leading to urinary obstruction and urinary tract infections. It can also trigger conditions affecting the penis.
