Does phimosis affect sexual function?

Patient's question:

My foreskin opening is relatively small, and when I retract it, the head of my penis does not become exposed. During sexual intercourse with my girlfriend, I often experience difficulty in ejaculation and do not feel sexual climax.
What kind of help do I need: Can phimosis affect sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is too small, making it impossible for the foreskin to retract and expose the glans penis. Due to the glans penis being tightly enclosed for a long time, it can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma under the skin. Although phimosis patients may attempt intercourse, forced sexual activity can easily cause injury to the penis, leading to penile pain. Therefore, it is not recommended for phimosis patients to engage in sexual activity. I hope my advice helps you.
