Patient's question:
I have had phimosis for 3 years. It's usually a bit itchy. I recently got a girlfriend, and I really want to have sex with her, but the moment I think about my phimosis, I get scared. What kind of help do I want: Does phimosis in men cause any gynecological diseases in women?Doctor's answer:
During circumcised sexual intercourse, smegma enters the female reproductive tract, and many times of long-term chronic irritation to the cervix may lead to cervical cancer. Medical researchers have investigated Jewish populations where male infants undergo circumcision immediately after birth, and found that the incidence of cervical cancer in women is extremely low. Some studies have discovered that the wives of uncircumcised men have an 8-fold higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to the wives of circumcised men.
