    Phimosis is generally relatively easy to treat. If phimosis occurs in infancy, it cannot be cured. You need to wait until the baby grows up and then undergo surgery to relieve it.

    Phimosis generally refers to the narrowing of the foreskin opening in men, making it impossible to expose the glans penis when it is everted. Phimosis may be caused by congenital underdevelopment, or it may be caused by acquired adhesions or inflammation and infection, resulting in scars at the foreskin opening.

    Phimosis can generally be treated through circumcision surgery. It is recommended to choose a regular hospital for related surgeries. Spicy food should be avoided before and after the surgery.
