What does phimosis mean?

Phimosis usually occurs when the orifice of the foreskin is narrowed, so daily care should be taken.

Phimosis usually occurs when the orifice of the foreskin is narrowed, causing the head of the penis to be wrapped inside and unable to evert normally. This is usually due to congenital developmental abnormalities. It will make normal cleaning more difficult, and it will also increase the chance of inflammation, which may cause swelling and pain.

People with phimosis can go to the hospital to cooperate with the doctor for circumcision surgery. During the operation, anesthetic drugs are usually injected, and the local foreskin is cut in a sterile environment. After the operation, you need to keep the wound area clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse for a short period of time to help local recovery.
