Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: It is phimosis.Current general condition: Itching, strong odor.
Medical history: 3-4 years ago
Other: Could you please tell me what major impact it would have if treatment is not sought now.
Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias, due to excessive foreskin, the secretion on the inner side cannot be cleaned in time, which allows bacteria to grow and multiply, leading to an increase in foreskin secretion, smegma, and odor. In severe cases, it can cause local inflammation, known as balanoposthitis. On one hand, bacteria can ascend retrogradely to infect the urethra, prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, and testes. On the other hand, it can also be transmitted to a sexual partner during intercourse, causing conditions such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis in women. Therefore, from a modern medical perspective, circumcision is better than not having it done. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital with the necessary conditions for a circumcision.
