Patient's question:
Every time I urinate, I feel uncomfortable, as if I can't urinate completely. Also, my foreskin is a bit too long, covering the entire glans, and I need to pull it back. Sometimes, I can even see the foreskin a bit red and swollen.What kind of help do I need: What are the possible causes of phimosis?
Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the penile foreskin, phimosis due to adhesion of the foreskin to the glans, traumatic injury to the foreskin, and narrowing of the foreskin orifice are all causes of phimosis. In daily life, prevention of excessive foreskin length also requires attention to regularly cleaning the genital area, maintaining the cleanliness and dryness of both the foreskin and the glans, and also practicing abstinence and avoiding dirty sexual intercourse. Additionally, if one partner in a couple suffers from a genital disease, sexual activity should be paused, and timely treatment should be sought.
