Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year, have never been married, and now have a girlfriend. We have been together for two years, and it's time to talk about marriage. However, since my teenage years, I have had a problem with excessive phimosis, and I never took it seriously. Now, I've heard from others that this can affect married life.What kind of help I need: How should phimosis be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition in which the penis's skin tightly covers the glans, preventing it from fully exposing. It can be categorized into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis is when the glans cannot fully expose even after the penis is erect. False phimosis, on the other hand, is when the glans cannot fully expose in a flaccid state but can do so when the penis is erect. Surgical treatment is often the best approach for this condition.
