Patient's question:
My doctor said I need to have surgery for phimosis, which startled me. I don't think it's that serious. Besides, it hasn't caused me much trouble in daily life. I don't want to undergo the treatment, afraid it might harm my body. I'm a bit troubled now. The help I want to receive: Is phimosis necessarily treated with surgery?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis itself can lead to conditions such as balanitis, and in more severe cases, it poses a risk of developing penile cancer. The transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is not directly related to phimosis itself, but only becomes dangerous when it is dirty and contains bacteria or inflammation. Therefore, it is very necessary to undergo phimosis surgery as soon as possible. Additionally, it is recommended that patients seek treatment early, as the sooner it is treated, the less harm it will cause. The above is advice for your question. Wishing you good health!
