What kind of help do I need: What are the nursing measures for phimosis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, phimosis generally covers the glans, preventing the foreskin from retracting, which can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma. Prolonged accumulation of smegma can cause inflammation of the glans. Therefore, it is recommended that you frequently retract the foreskin to clean the glans and coronal sulcus. Additionally, you can keep the foreskin retracted regularly to ensure the glans remains dry. The above are suggestions for your question. Wishing you good health!
