Patient's question:
Medical Description: The patient is male, 23 years old. Up to now, the glans cannot be exposed as the foreskin is still completely covering it! In a flaccid state, the entire glans can be retracted! When erect, only half of the glans can be retracted, or it will be very painful! I don't want to have surgery. Can physical therapy be used instead? ??History of Treatment and Effects: No treatment has been administered. A classmate told me that he used to have the same condition, but after retracting the foreskin daily for a long time, it improved! He also said that sexual activity would gradually help improve the condition!
Desired Help: If surgery is not an option, what treatments can be used instead??
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the impact of excessive foreskin is poor hygiene, requiring frequent cleaning. Otherwise, it is easy to develop balanitis. If foreskin is not cleaned regularly, it can cause harm to sexual partners, bringing them pain and leading to diseases such as vaginal, cervical, and pelvic in women. The most terrifying possibility is even causing cancer in women. Therefore, surgical treatment is the best option.Our hospital adopts the American SAFE painless minimally invasive foreskin refinement and beautification technique. It uses a full-computer light ion digital programming system to standardize precise data for foreskin and phimosis surgery. The technology is highly advanced, causing minimal damage, pain, and scarring. The results are aesthetically pleasing, allowing patients to return home immediately without affecting normal work or study, and no hospitalization is required.
The surgery takes about 20 minutes, and recovery typically occurs within 5 to 7 days.
