Can phimosis heal on its own?

Phimosis cannot be cured by itself and needs to be treated through manual reduction or surgical reduction. If you find yourself suffering from this condition, you should go to a professional hospital for treatment as soon as possible to recover as soon as possible. There are two ways to treat it:

1. Manual reduction. Hold the swollen foreskin firmly with your hands and force the edema fluid to the base of the penis. Then press the glans penis with your thumbs and push down with your fingers. Under sterile conditions, squeeze the swollen area to let the edema fluid flow out of the body smoothly, or apply cold compress for 5 minutes before manual reduction.

2. Surgical reduction. If the manual reduction fails, you can also do a dorsal circumcision. The trick is to cut the foreskin and do a circumcision. If the tissue is healthy, circumcision can still be done, which can achieve good results. Prevent the incarcerated foreskin from being too long, which will cause foreskin necrosis. After surgery or other operations, you can restore the foreskin in time; for patients with phimosis, circumcision should be performed as soon as possible. This will help you get better sooner.

You can try both of the above surgeries. Once you find the condition, it is best to go to a professional hospital to see a doctor as soon as possible.

What happens after phimosis is reduced?

Phimosis reduction surgery requires two fingers to fix the phimosis, turn the phimosis downward, hold the penis with two thumbs and push it towards the foreskin, so that the phimosis can be reduced in time. You can also make a vertical incision at the phimosis through surgery, cut the skin and some fascia here, restore the foreskin at the phimosis, and then suture the incision.

It is best for the surgeon to take a shower and maintain hygiene before the operation. After the operation, avoid smoking, drinking, and some spicy and irritating foods to avoid inflammation of the surgical site and postoperative infection. It is best to eat a small amount of food before the operation to maintain physical strength. If an infection occurs after the operation, go to the hospital in time to relieve the infection with some drugs to avoid cracking or rotting.

Generally, the stitches can be removed 5 to 7 days after the operation. Phimosis reduction surgery is a minor operation and does not cause much harm to the surgeon. As long as the surgeon pays attention to some matters, he or she will generally return to normal within 7 days and there is no need to worry about complications.
