What is phimosis

Phimosis generally refers to the foreskin covering the glans, and the glans cannot be exposed normally, which may affect the development of the reproductive organs.

Phimosis is usually caused by congenital phimosis and acquired phimosis. It is more common in congenital phimosis. Usually during the development period, epithelial adhesions appear on the surface of the glans penis and are absorbed, causing the reproductive organs to not be exposed normally. Acquired trauma may also cause phimosis, resulting in secretions that cannot be cleaned and eliminated, which can easily cause balanitis. It may also affect the development of the penis, causing the penis to be short and small, affecting sexual life.

You can go to a professional hospital for relevant examinations. If the glans cannot be exposed normally, circumcision can be used for treatment, and local care should be strengthened after the operation.
