Patient's question:
My foreskin has been a bit long since I was a child. Yesterday, I went to a bookstore specifically to look for books, and it seems that most of them suggest surgery. I'm very afraid of surgery. I've never had any surgery in my life. Now that I have a girlfriend, every time I have sexual relations with her, it hurts after urinating. How is phimosis generally treated the best?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the urethral meatus but can be retracted to reveal the urethral meatus and glans penis, often accompanied by balanitis. This condition is associated with hereditary factors and can be classified into true phimosis and false phimosis. If phimosis or balanitis is present, timely circumcision surgery is necessary. This is an outpatient procedure that can be completed smoothly under local anesthesia with minimal bleeding. The main purpose of the surgery is to remove excess foreskin, release adhesions, and clean the area, thereby successfully completing the procedure.
