Which department should I visit for phimosis or tight foreskin?
Disease description:
I've been experiencing painful urination and feel very uncomfortable. I suspect it's due to phimosis or tight foreskin. Could you please tell me which department should I visit for this condition?

When seeking medical care for phimosis or redundant foreskin, you may choose from the following departments:
1. Urology: As the primary specialty, urology focuses on disorders of the urinary system, including phimosis and redundant foreskin. Patients can receive professional evaluation and treatment here, such as circumcision.
2. Andrology: This department specializes in male reproductive system disorders and also has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating phimosis and related conditions.
3. Dermatology and Venereology: If phimosis or redundant foreskin leads to skin conditions such as eczema or genital herpes, this department is appropriate for consultation.
4. General Surgery: In cases where urology or andrology services are unavailable, general surgery is another option, as it covers a broad range of surgical conditions, including those involving the male reproductive system.
It is recommended to select the appropriate department based on individual circumstances and hospital structure to ensure accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
