Patient's question:
Hello, I don't feel any discomfort in my body, but I know I'm different from others. A classmate said I have phimosis, which makes me very troubled. I read in a magazine that phimosis can lead to many diseases. I would like to ask how to treat phimosis.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the most effective method to improve phimosis is surgery. Common surgical methods include laser, microwave, and the circumcision device. Traditional surgery (laser, microwave) causes significant pain to the patient during the procedure, requires postoperative oral or intravenous antibiotics, and necessitates suturing, leaving scars. The cost is relatively high. The circumcision device surgery involves using a device to excise the excess foreskin, which is less painful than traditional surgery. Depending on individual differences, antibiotics may or may not be required orally or intravenously, and no suturing is needed, leaving no scars postoperatively.
