How should phimosis be treated?

Patient's question:

Penis curvature, insufficient length of less than four centimeters in different situations when the penis is flaccid, and 10~11 centimeters from the root to the tip of the glans when erect. Started masturbating in high school and continued to do so occasionally after graduation. Long-term semen dilution; occasionally observed yellow semen after stopping masturbation for a period of time. What kind of help is desired: How should phimosis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Complications of phimosis include lower urinary tract obstruction, upper urinary tract hydronephrosis, kidney damage, inguinal hernia, rectal prolapse, balanitis, balanoposthitis, phimosis calculi, and local inflammation. Frequent irritation can lead to nocturia, leukoplakia of the glans and foreskin, papillomas, and genital warts. Additionally, according to available data, 90% of penile cancer patients are associated with phimosis or excessive foreskin. Due to the narrowed opening of the foreskin, it cannot be retracted to its original position, causing impaired blood circulation in the glans. This results in swelling and severe pain in the glans and foreskin. If not treated promptly, the narrowed area may develop into necrosis, ulcers, or even purulent glans necrosis and shedding.
Excessive foreskin refers to a foreskin that is longer than the glans and cannot be retracted to expose the glans. It is also a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria, making individuals with excessive foreskin more susceptible to balanitis, genital warts, trichomoniasis, genital herpes, urethritis, and phimosis calculi.
