Patient's question:
Medical Description: Always suspected of having phimosis, a state of genital weakness, where the foreskin covers the glans but exposes the urethral meatus. Even in an erect state, the glans is not fully exposed, with about two-thirds still covered. Medical History and Effectiveness: No treatment history. Desired Help: Do I need to undergo a circumcision surgery in this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello! This is phimosis, not excessive prepuce length, and it requires surgical treatment. Phimosis has many harmful effects:1. Accumulation of smegma in the preputial cavity often induces balanoposthitis.
2. Long-term stimulation of the local area causes discomfort symptoms such as itching, swelling, and tingling pain.
3. It induces unnatural rubbing, which can lead to malignant masturbation behavior over time.
4. Smegma appears as a creamy curd-like substance and can harden into sesame-pod-sized calculi.
5. Data shows that smegma from excessive prepuce length is a carcinogen. 85%-95% of penile cancer patients have phimosis or excessive prepuce length.
6. Smegma can cause unavoidable gynecological infections in sexual partners. It is recommended that you undergo surgery at an early stage.
