Patient's question:
I have a problem with phimosis, and it's not very severe either.Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis is mostly congenital. A portion of it is caused by repeated infections based on excessive prepuce, leading to adhesions that prevent it from being retracted. In some severe cases of phimosis, the preputial orifice is narrow like a needlehole, and the prepuce swells like a ball during urination, causing difficulty in urination. Due to phimosis and urethral, the bladder sphincter contracts during urination. Before or simultaneously with overcoming the urethral resistance, the intravesical pressure also exceeds the pressure that the bladder's muscular layer can withstand. Urine refluxes along the ureters, causing dilation of the ureters and renal pelvis, leading to upper urinary tract bacterial infections. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
