Patient's question:
I found that I have phimosis. I just started having sexual activity, and there is a slight pain during sex, but it's not severe. I also have normal ejaculation during sexual activity.Doctor's answer:
Hello, due to excessive foreskin, the secretion on the inner side cannot be cleaned in time, which allows bacteria to grow and multiply, leading to an increase in foreskin secretion, smegma, and odor. In severe cases, it can cause local inflammation, known as balanoposthitis. On the other hand, it can also transmit bacteria to the partner during sexual intercourse, causing conditions such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis in women. Therefore, from a modern medical perspective, circumcision is better than not having it done. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital that has the necessary conditions for a circumcision.
