Patient's question:
My foreskin is too long, and I can't see the glans when erect. During sexual intercourse, I don't feel strong pleasure. Moreover, it seems a bit dirty inside, and sometimes there's an odor. My girlfriend is very repulsed by this, and sometimes she even refuses to have sex with me. How should I get treatment for phimosis at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation, active treatment is recommended for phimosis. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis, often accompanied by balanitis. Phimosis can lead to premature ejaculation and is treated through progressive delay training. Balanitis, on the other hand, refers to the narrowing of the foreskin opening or adhesion between the foreskin and the glans penis, preventing the foreskin from retracting and exposing the urethral meatus and glans penis.Recommendations: Due to the inability of the foreskin to retract in balanitis, it can accumulate a significant amount of pollution, even leading to the formation of stones. This can cause balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin) and external urethral orifice inflammation. The inflammation can narrow the external urethral orifice, leading to urinary obstruction and subsequent urinary tract infections. It can also trigger conditions affecting the penis.
