Patient's question:
I always thought I had phimosis. Two days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor confirmed it was phimosis and recommended I have a circumcision. I don't know what methods are available for circumcision now, and I'm very worried. What should a man do if he has phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Since the glans mucosa is usually hidden under the foreskin, the glans mucosa is subjected to less friction and impact in daily life, making the nerve sensitivity of the glans mucosa overly sensitive. Phimosis in males can be treated with foreskin expansion. For physiological phimosis and adhesive phimosis, strict treatment such as foreskin expansion is effective. This involves artificially retracting the foreskin to expose the glans, then cleaning the smegma to prevent recurrence of phimosis or adhesive complications. At the same time, it is essential to immediately restore the foreskin after expanding the foreskin orifice.
