Patient's question:
Can phimosis be treated by circumcision? How much does it cost? How long does it take for the wound to heal?Doctor's answer:
If the secretions of the foreskin are not cleaned in time, they will accumulate for a long time to form smegma. The secretions of the foreskin have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, but if personal hygiene is not paid attention to and cleaning is not done for a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria and induce diseases. The claim that the foreskin is harmful and has no benefits is wrong.An adult foreskin can be retracted, and it should be frequently retracted to clean the inner side of the foreskin and the glans. You can use non-irritating soap and shower gel, but it must be thoroughly rinsed with a large amount of clean water. If possible, it is best to clean the foreskin and glans before going to bed every night.
If there is no impact on sexual life and no inflammation or infection, it can be considered normal. In most cases, excessive foreskin does not require medical treatment and has no direct impact on sexual life or premature ejaculation.
Patients with concurrent foreskin and glans inflammation should not undergo surgery temporarily. Surgery can only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
If you pay attention to the cleanliness of the foreskin, it is impossible for the urethral orifice or the anterior urethra to become narrowed, causing difficulty in urination. It will also not damage kidney function.
By paying attention to the cleanliness of the foreskin, penile cancer will not occur. If you expose it more often and allow it to rub against underwear, and persist for a period of time, the sensitivity of the glans will be greatly reduced.
