Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. What are the dangers of excessive foreskin and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
When phimosis or excessive prepuce occurs, the secretions of the sebaceous glands under the prepuce cannot be expelled and gradually form foul-smelling, yellowish-white, mud-like smegma. Smegma is prone to cause bacterial infections, leading to balanitis, secondary phimosis, or even urethral stricture, causing difficulties in urination. If children or adolescents suffer from phimosis, it may result in poor penile development after puberty. As everyone knows, phimosis and prepuce can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
