Excess foreskin and, can there be better treatment methods?

Patient's question:

I have phimosis now, but I'm working. No time to have surgery.

Doctor's answer:

Penile prepuce redundancy refers to a condition where the prepuce covers the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis. In children with prepuce redundancy, it is important to maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, frequently or daily cleaning the accumulated smegma under the prepuce. This can prevent the occurrence of glans penis inflammation. If the glans penis is frequently irritated by inflammation, the preputial orifice may narrow and adhere to the glans penis, forming acquired phimosis. Prepuce redundancy generally does not require surgical treatment, and surgical treatment is only necessary when prepuce redundancy is accompanied by phimosis.
