Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Seeking treatment methods and preventive measures for phimosis?History of Treatment and Effect: Seeking treatment methods and preventive measures for phimosis?
Expected Help: Seeking treatment methods and preventive measures for phimosis?
Doctor's answer:
Urologists explain that a significant number of men suffer from phimosis or paraphimosis, and many lack knowledge of personal hygiene. They neither regularly retract the foreskin for cleaning nor seek medical circumcision, which increases the risk of penile cancer.Treatment for Phimosis
1. Soak the penis in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution 16 times a day, with each session lasting 30 minutes.
2. Apply antibiotics to reduce inflammation.
3. If drainage is poor, a longitudinal incision on the back of the foreskin may be performed.
Allergic Phimotic Penile Head Inflammation
Discontinue allergenic medications, apply topical corticosteroid ointment, and take antihistamines.
Preventive Measures
1. Early circumcision in cases of phimosis is the primary measure to prevent penile head inflammation.
2. Men with phimosis should frequently retract and clean the foreskin. If inflammation occurs frequently, circumcision is also recommended.
3. Maintain cleanliness in the genital area, avoid unsafe sexual practices, and refrain from taking allergenic medications.
