Patient's question:
The boy is already twenty-one years old, but he hasn't had his circumcision yet. Will this affect his development?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it appears you have both phimosis and concealed penis. If the foreskin cannot be retracted to expose the glans due to phimosis, it would be classified as balanitis, which requires surgical treatment. Otherwise, it can affect the development of the penis. While circumcision does not promote further development of the penis, removing the excess foreskin allows the glans to be exposed, which can reduce its sensitivity. This can be very helpful for men experiencing premature ejaculation or short sexual duration, especially those who previously had these issues due to phimosis. Additionally, after circumcision, the glans can be kept clean, helping to prevent balanitis.
