What are the hazards of phimosis?

Patient's question:

What are the hazards of phimosis, and how is the circumcision surgery good without affecting work?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin not only covers the glans but also cannot be retracted to expose it. Excessive foreskin, due to chronic irritation from urine and smegma over a long period, can lead to edema, congestion, erosion, repeated cross-infection, and even phimotic entrapment of the glans and foreskin, resulting in severe consequences such as necrosis of the glans and foreskin. It can also transmit bacteria to the female body during sexual intercourse. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a hospital.
