Patient's question:
I heard that this illness requires surgery at the hospital. To be honest, I'm still a bit scared.Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin is harmful to both the individual and their partner. It can lead to the accumulation of smegma, which is prone to causing various inflammations. These inflammations can ascend along the reproductive tract, resulting in conditions such as urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis. It may even trigger premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and penile cancer. It affects sexual life, and through sexual activity, it can also cause repeated vaginal infections in women. Phimosis is more severe than excessive foreskin, as it can hinder the development of the male penis and glans. Long-term covering can also increase the sensitivity of the glans, leading to premature ejaculation in future sexual life. If phimosis or excessive foreskin is detected, it is recommended to undergo circumcision immediately for complete treatment.
