Patient's question:
I have phimosis, but I feel embarrassed going to the hospital for treatment. I don't know if it might cause other conditions.Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias can be caused by chronic irritation from long-term urine and smegma, leading to local swelling, congestion, erosion, and repeated cross-infection of the foreskin and glans mucosa. It may even result in phimosis, where the foreskin becomes trapped, potentially causing glans necrosis and other severe consequences. Additionally, it can transmit bacteria to the female partner during sexual activity. Therefore, from the perspective of improving sexual life and preventing infections, individuals with hypospadias should undergo circumcision as early as possible. Wishing you good health!
