Patient's question:
Hello, I always felt I had phimosis before. Two days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was phimosis and recommended I have a phimosis surgery. I don't know what methods are available for phimosis surgery now. I would like to ask, what are the conservative treatment methods for phimosis?Help needed: What are the causes of phimosis?
Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, it is described as phimosis, which can be caused by congenital factors or postnatal infectious inflammation. It is characterized by a narrowed preputial orifice that cannot be retracted to reveal the glans penis. The treatment for phimosis is primarily surgical excision.Advice: Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the penis. Clean it regularly. If the prepuce cannot be retracted, do not force it. If it can be retracted, gently clean it, and after washing, make sure to restore the prepuce to its original position to avoid the risk of paraphimosis. If surgery is performed, pay attention to preventing infection.
