Patient's question:
Narrowing of the foreskin opening, unable to retract fully. Erection cannot expose the glans. Phimosis. Slow penis development. What kind of surgery is suitable?Doctor's answer:
So-called phimosis refers to the foreskin covering the entire glans of the penis, with the glans unable to naturally protrude, but the foreskin can be retracted during cleaning, masturbation, or sexual intercourse. Phimosis does not affect male fertility, but it can increase the risk of local infections, lead to cross-infection during sexual intercourse, and also impact male sexual function, such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Based on your current symptoms, mild cases may also be considered for non-surgical treatment. Currently, clinical practice recommends circumcision, which can effectively eliminate the risk factors associated with phimosis. Therefore, it is recommended that you take this matter seriously.
