Patient's question:
I've recently been hearing my friends around me discussing the issue of phimosis. Sometimes, it even makes me feel a bit embarrassed because I'm quite introverted and generally don't participate in discussions about such topics. However, when they say phimosis is bad for them, I feel shy and don't dare to go to the hospital.What kind of help I want to get: How should phimosis be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Penis hood enlargement occurs when the foreskin tightly wraps around the glans, leaving behind keratinous secretions and shed epithelial cells in the foreskin cavity, forming smegma. The accumulation of smegma can irritate the foreskin and glans, leading to conditions such as balanoposthitis, which are perinatal infections. Additionally, prolonged tight coverage of the glans by the foreskin and inflammation can increase sensitivity, making it easier to experience premature ejaculation and nocturnal emissions with slight stimulation.
