Patient's question:
Penile phimosis with some curvature, hand-flipping the glans causes pain. I realized I don't know whether it's phimosis or paraphimosis. I learned that surgery is required. I would like to ask for details, mainly regarding the cost (total cost) and the technique. If you can help, please let me know promptly.Doctor's answer:
Hello, excessive foreskin is prone to trapping smegma, which, when exposed to the glans penis for a long time—especially the corona—can easily lead to balanitis and balanoposthitis. Additionally, prolonged stimulation of the glans by the foreskin can increase sensitivity, resulting in premature ejaculation. It is also more likely to cause paraphimosis during sexual activity. From the perspective of preventing infections and improving sexual quality, it is recommended to undergo circumcision as early as possible.Our hospital's Reproductive Plastic Surgery Department adopts the Korean-style circumcision technique, which takes only 20 minutes to complete. The result is neat and aesthetically pleasing, promoting better hygiene, health, and development. It significantly enhances sexual quality, with no side effects, making it safe and convenient. Patients can leave immediately after treatment, with a typical recovery period of 7–10 days. Normal work and study can be resumed, though heavy physical labor should be avoided.
We recommend coming to our hospital for the procedure. The doctor will tailor the surgical plan to your specific condition to achieve the desired outcome. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene is important.
