Recently, a man aged about 50 years came to the urology department of Ren'ai Hospital for treatment due to frequent urination, urgency, and pain in urination. The doctor was surprised to find that he had a phimosis. The patient confided that their husband and wife had no children under their knees, but there were no problems with their wife's examination. He himself was embarrassed and never went to the hospital for an examination. This was how he spent most of his life.
The doctor told him that they had no child so far, which might be related to phimosis, and the examination results showed that this time his abnormal feeling of urination was also related to this, so he was suggested to have an operation as soon as possible.
According to experts, although there are few such patients, they may encounter two or three in clinical practice every year. Although people have heard of the words redundant foreskin and phimosis, they do not know what is phimosis? What are the hazards? How to conduct self inspection?
"A normal male, especially before the age of 7, has a relatively long foreskin that covers the entire penis and the external orifice of the urethra.". Later, as puberty develops, the volume and length of the penis increase, and the foreskin recedes, exposing the penis head and urethral orifice outside the foreskin. "If, in adulthood, the opening of the foreskin is narrow, or the foreskin still adheres to the penis head, the foreskin cannot be turned up, exposing the urethral opening or the penis head, which is called phimosis in medicine;"; "If the foreskin can be turned up to reveal the glans, but the opening of the foreskin is very small and does not cover the outer opening of the urethra, it is said that the foreskin is too long.".
Both phimosis and redundant prepuce should be treated as soon as possible, because it is likely to become an infectious agent of urogenital system diseases, and will also bring germs to his wife. Some patients may even become cancerous, and his wife's incidence rate of cervical cancer will be far higher than other normal women.
Experts also said that both foreskin and phimosis plastic surgery are very mature now, and there is no need to be hospitalized. You can go home in about 20 minutes, which is not troublesome. It is important for patients to pay attention to and face up to this matter, and not underestimate the foreskin disease.
