Patient's question:
Can phimosis be circumcised? How much does it cost? How long does it take for the wound to heal?Doctor's answer:
If the secretions of the foreskin are not cleaned in time, they will accumulate for a long time to form smegma. The secretions of the foreskin have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, but if personal hygiene is not paid attention to and cleaning is not done for a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria and induce diseases. The claim that the foreskin is harmful and has no benefits is wrong.An adult foreskin can be retracted, and it should be frequently retracted to clean the inner side of the foreskin and the glans thoroughly. You can use non-irritating soap and shower gel, but make sure to rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water. If possible, it is best to clean the foreskin and glans every night before going to bed.
If there is no impact on sexual life and no inflammation or infection, it can be considered normal. In most cases, excessive foreskin does not require medical treatment and has no direct impact on sexual life or premature ejaculation.
Patients with concurrent foreskin and glans inflammation should not undergo surgery temporarily. Surgery can only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
If you pay attention to the cleanliness of the foreskin, it is impossible for the urethral opening or the anterior urethra to become narrowed, causing difficulty in urination. This will also prevent damage to kidney function.
By paying attention to the cleanliness of the foreskin, penile cancer will not occur. If you expose it more often and allow it to rub against underwear, and persist in doing so for a period of time, the sensitivity of the glans will be significantly reduced.
