Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I want to have a circumcision, but I've heard about some painless, bloodless procedures like the beauty ring surgery where you can go home right after the operation.What I want to ask is:
1. How many types of circumcision surgery are there in general?
2. Can it be done in a regular county hospital, or is it better to go to a big hospital? Are the hospitals that advertise on TV okay too?
3. What is the general cost of the surgery?
Please answer all three questions, thank you!!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Excessive foreskin refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans, preventing it from naturally being exposed, but it can be retracted during cleaning, masturbation, or sexual intercourse. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin not only covers the glans but also cannot be retracted to expose it. Excessive foreskin and phimosis can easily lead to the formation of smegma in the foreskin and coronal sulcus, triggering balanoposthitis. In some cases, bacteria can travel along the urethra into deeper parts of the body, potentially infecting the prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, testicles, and other male reproductive systems.Men with excessive foreskin or phimosis should pay more attention. Excessive foreskin is one of the factors that can lead to sexually transmitted diseases, posing significant harm to the body, and should be treated as early as possible. It is advisable to seek surgery at a formal urological specialty hospital in a timely manner.
