Patient's question:
Penis enlargement, phimosis, what should be done? Will it affect future life? Will it affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision is a minor surgery with little risk. It is not necessary for everyone with a long foreskin to undergo surgery. However, if there is phimosis, frequent inflammation, or irritation from smegma, surgical treatment is required. Maintain local hygiene to prevent secondary infection, and use povidone-iodine for disinfection.Oral antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, can be administered. With the above treatments, infections are generally controllable. If inflammation recurs frequently or affects erection, surgical treatment should be considered. Surgical procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia and take about 15 minutes to complete.
