Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said I have prostatitis but no hyperplasia, which led to balanitis. How long does it usually take to treat prostatitis to get better, and how much will it cost?Doctor's answer:
Do all men need to have their foreskin circumcised?Not all men need to have their foreskin circumcised. In some regions or among certain ethnic groups, all males may undergo the procedure for reasons such as religion or as part of a coming-of-age ritual. However, from a purely medical perspective, there are several reasons why circumcision may be necessary:
1. Phimosis in adults, where the glans cannot be exposed during an erection.
2. Paraphimosis, which is a urological emergency.
3. Poor hygiene due to an overly long foreskin.
4. Repeated infections in the area, which may even lead to adhesions between the foreskin and the glans.
5. A narrowed opening of the foreskin, resulting in a weak urine stream.
I hope this information is helpful to you.
