Patient's question:
Hello, I had a circumcision surgery at the hospital. When it healed, the result was that the foreskin was cut too short. The glans is completely exposed outside, with no foreskin covering it at all. Does this affect sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Considering phimosis, where the foreskin can fully cover the glans when flaccid but can be retracted to expose the glans. When erect, the glans can be seen but is not fully exposed. The impact of phimosis is that it makes it easy to develop balanitis. If the foreskin is not cleaned regularly, it can cause harm to sexual partners, causing them pain and leading to diseases such as vaginal, cervical, and pelvic in women. The most serious issue is that it can even cause cancer in women. Teenagers with phimosis or phimosis should undergo circumcision at an early stage. For non-inflammatory phimosis, it can be managed by regularly retracting the foreskin for cleaning, and surgery may not be necessary.
