No bleeding no side effect and the operation process was fast. He knows what to do.
Thank you Dr. Nourparvar.
How Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans Affects Men’s Health
BXO can lead to troubling symptoms such as lesions on the penis, discomfort during urination, and painful erections. It is recognized that the incidence of BXO in boys with phimosis is approximately 40%, with the highest occurrences in those aged 9 to 11 years. If left untreated, BXO may result in complications like meatal stenosis and urethral strictures, which can have lasting effects on a man’s overall health and quality of life. Understanding the implications of BXO is crucial for early identification and intervention, ensuring better health outcomes for those affected by this condition.
