Does phimosis always require surgery?

Patient's question:

Every night when taking a shower, I use clean water to rinse it over. There is no obvious discomfort. I would like to ask the doctor, is my condition considered phimosis? Is surgery absolutely necessary?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it is simply phimosis without inflammation of the glans or genitourinary system, surgery can be temporarily avoided. Just pay attention to hygiene of the foreskin and glans. However, if there is inflammation of the foreskin or glans, or genitourinary system inflammation, it is recommended to choose circumcision early to prevent these inflammations from recurring frequently. For your symptoms, it is advised to drink more water and, if necessary, visit the hospital for relevant examinations to confirm whether there is genitourinary system inflammation. Wishing you good health!
