Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Please ask if phimosis affects sexual intercourse and fertility.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis is when the foreskin completely covers the glans, preventing it from naturally protruding, but it can be retracted during cleaning, masturbation, or sexual intercourse. Phimosis, on the other hand, refers to a condition where the foreskin not only covers the glans but also cannot be retracted to expose it. Based on your description, it seems you have phimosis. Due to long-term chronic irritation from urine and smegma, phimosis can lead to edema, congestion, erosion, repeated cross-infection, and even phimotic entrapment of the glans and foreskin, resulting in severe consequences such as necrosis of the glans and foreskin. Additionally, it can transmit bacteria to the female partner during sexual intercourse. It is recommended that you consider surgical treatment as soon as possible.
