Patient's question:
I am 20 years old this year and still in school. I often hear my roommates discussing circumcision. I took a close look at my own foreskin and felt it was a bit long, covering the entire glans in front. When it's hard, it still covers most of the glans. I really want to get a circumcision.Help I need: How much does a circumcision cost?
Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce overhang refers to a prepuce that covers the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis, often accompanied by phimosis. Prepuce overhang can lead to premature ejaculation and is treated through progressive delay training methods. Phimosis refers to narrowing of the preputial orifice or adhesion between the prepuce and glans penis, preventing the prepuce from retracting and exposing the urethral meatus and glans penis. Due to the inability of the prepuce to retract, phimosis can cause accumulation of pollutants in the preputial cavity, even leading to the formation of stones, which may result in balanoposthitis or external urethral orifice inflammation. It is recommended to visit a formal specialized hospital, follow the doctor's advice for examination, and the specific costs are difficult to determine as they vary depending on the hospital's level and the city it is located in. The fees differ. Generally, the cost is around 1500 yuan, with anti-inflammatory treatments being more expensive at hospitals. You can choose to receive anti-inflammatory treatment at community hospitals or clinics.
