I am asking for advice, I have advanced phimosis and referral for surgery. I am very scared of this, is this the only way out?
What does this operation look like, and most importantly, does it hurt and what does the healing process look like? Is it possible to have a successful sex with phimosis? I don’t think I have a full erection. I also have a question if I can use condoms. ~ mihał
Phimosis is an anatomical defect in which the foreskin narrows very much on the glans of the penis, and this narrowing prevents the foreskin from being drawn past the compulsive groove. Such a situation may cause inflammation under the foreskin and, consequently, adhesions between the glans and the foreskin. Such phimosis must not be forced out because it may get caught behind the groove and create the so-called. parapet. Thus, if phimosis is large, it requires surgical correction. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, it consists in cutting the skin of the foreskin along the length and then suturing it in order to enlarge the circumference of the foreskin. The procedure itself is not painful because it takes place under anesthesia. Then, of course, pain complaints appear, but painkillers are given. Good hygiene is important in the perioperative period. Sexual intercourse with phimosis is possible, but there may not be a full erection, you should be careful about the possible formation of an paraphimosis. Condoms are not contraindicated.
