Patient's question:
Discovered that I have phimosis. Want to consult about circumcision.Doctor's answer:
Hello; This situation is considered to be phimosis. In general, surgical treatment can be considered for this condition. For your case, the preferred methods are electrocautery and laser surgery, which are currently more commonly used. The advantages are less bleeding and better hemostasis. However, because the cutting nature of electrocautery and laser involves high-temperature burning, a very common postoperative complication is local scar formation, which is larger in scope compared to the other two surgical methods. Usually, it's not a problem, but during penile erection, the foreskin contracts and lacks elasticity at the wound site, leading to constriction and causing penile swelling and pain. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal urological hospital.
