Patient's question:
My foreskin is very long, and I have never paid much attention to it. However, after getting married, I have never had children, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was my fault.What kind of help do I need: What are the dangers of phimosis?
Doctor's answer:
After adulthood, if phimosis recurs, it may lead to necrosis of the glans in severe cases. Based on your description, it seems that you have a long prepuce, and a prolonged prepuce is prone to accumulating dirt and fostering bacteria, which can lead to balanoposthitis. However, if you clean it promptly and there have been no recurring cases of balanitis, surgery may not be necessary. The above is my advice regarding your question. Wishing you good health!
