What will happen if phimosis is not circumcised

Phimosis is a relatively common disease. Most male friends will suffer from phimosis, so everyone can learn more about this aspect. It is actually feasible to not circumcise phimosis, but it depends on the condition of the phimosis. If it is too long, it must be circumcised, otherwise it will affect urine flow and make it easy to get sexually transmitted diseases and tumors.

What are the dangers of not treating phimosis?

1. It will affect urine flow

Because the foreskin opening of phimosis is too small or adhesion forms between the glans and the foreskin, it will affect the urine flow and make urinary tract infection more likely. Because the sediment and smegma in the urine remain in the foreskin for a long time, it provides a good living environment for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Long-term infection will cause foreskin adhesion, and in severe cases it can also lead to male infertility.

2. Prone to STDs and Tumors

Phimosis can cause the glans penis to be in a humid environment for a long time, making it easy to get gonorrhea or genital warts. If you do not pay attention to cleaning in daily life, it can also easily cause your sexual partner to suffer from gynecological diseases. Phimosis and tumors are also closely related. If phimosis is not treated for a long time, the penis will be contaminated by urine and chronically irritated for a long time, thus causing penile cancer.

3. It is easy to cause incarcerated phimosis, affecting women's health

When the penis is erect, the foreskin cannot be turned down after being turned up, and the foreskin opening is easily stuck on the glans, forming an incarcerated foreskin. If the glans becomes edematous due to poor blood flow, it may cause necrosis of the glans in severe cases. In addition, there are a large number of bacteria hidden in the smegma, which will enter the female vagina during sexual intercourse. Long-term stimulation may cause women to develop cervical cancer.

How to scientifically care for circumcision

1. Preoperative care:

(1) Choose the appropriate time for surgery. The best time to perform circumcision is before any secondary lesions occur.

(2) Clean the genitals. Starting from the third day before the operation, the genitals should be washed with warm water every day, mainly to remove the smegma. However, it should be noted that the foreskin should be restored to its original position in time after cleaning to avoid phimosis.

(3) Eliminate the tension of circumcision. Since there will be some discomfort in the wound in the first few days after the operation, many people worry that the operation will affect their sexual function. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. Generally speaking, this surgery will not affect men's normal sexual function. On the contrary, if they have a mental burden, it will affect their sexual dysfunction.

2. Postoperative care:

(1) Keep the perineum clean. Avoid scratching after circumcision. It is best to wipe clean after urination and defecation to prevent local infection.

(2) After surgery, patients are encouraged to urinate promptly to avoid urinary retention.

(3) Within 2-3 months after circumcision, it is necessary to take some tranquilizers before going to bed to prevent penile erection from causing bleeding or pain.
