Patient's question:
When erect, the foreskin cannot be retracted. Phimosis. Small preputial orifice. Circumcision. Genital redness, frequent urination. But since then, there has been no inflammation. Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin is harmful to both the individual and their partner. It can lead to the accumulation of smegma, which is prone to causing various inflammations. These inflammations can ascend along the reproductive tract, resulting in conditions such as urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis. In severe cases, it may even trigger premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and penile cancer. It affects sexual life, and through sexual activity, it can also cause repeated vaginal infections in women. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo circumcision at an early stage to avoid future complications.The surgery cost is generally around 1,000 yuan, but it may vary depending on the local pricing standards.
