Patient's question:
Hello, I'm only 19 years old and have just started university. Before going to university, I had a physical examination, but the results showed that I have phimosis. They also told me the results, but I don't know what it means and feel too embarrassed to ask again.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Excessive foreskin refers to the condition where the foreskin covers the glans when the penis is flaccid. Phimosis refers to the condition where the foreskin, which is excessive, cannot be retracted to expose the glans up to the corona during erection. Over time, phimosis can lead to adhesion. On the one hand, sexual intercourse can transmit bacteria to the partner, causing conditions such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis in women. Therefore, from a modern medical perspective, circumcision is better than not having it done. Below are some relatively professional hospitals recommended for you: Linyi People's Hospital, Weifang People's Hospital, and Zaozhuang Municipal Hospital.
