Introduction — Why This Survey Data Matters Now

━━━

Although an estimated 35–40% of Japanese men have some form of phimosis (※ see various medical literature), consultation rates at male aesthetic and sexual health clinics remain extremely low. Psychological barriers such as 'embarrassment,' 'not knowing where to consult,' and 'fear of pain' create a significant gap between actual conditions and medical-seeking behaviors.

PRO CLINIC's SNS live stream 'Nihei Live' directly confronts this taboo area, accumulating real-world data from 1,693 participants through anonymous, real-time viewer polls. This press release presents survey findings and insights gathered over 620 days of live broadcasts.

Survey Result ① — Self-Awareness of Phimosis: Over Half of Men Recognize Themselves as Having Phimosis

━━━

[Question] 'Do you think you have phimosis?' (N=200)

Yes (think I have phimosis): 56% / No: 44%

A significant 56% of respondents self-identified as having phimosis—far exceeding the estimated medical prevalence of 35–45% among Japanese men. Unlike official data released by medical institutions, this figure captures subjective self-perception—how men personally feel about their condition—making it highly meaningful.

The 19-point gap between the 56% self-awareness rate and the 37% surgery consideration rate (discussed below) clearly reveals a large latent group who 'are aware but haven’t taken the next step.' This 'aware but not yet considering' group is precisely the target audience PRO CLINIC aims to educate and inform.

Survey Result ① — Over Half of Men (56%) Self-Identify as Having Phimosis: A Real-World Reality Exceeding Estimated Prevalence

In a real-time poll conducted during PRO CLINIC’s daily SNS live stream 'Nihei Live,' viewers were asked: 'Do you think you have phimosis?' The result showed that 56% of the 200 respondents answered 'Yes (I think I have phimosis).'

This indicates that a clear majority of men subjectively recognize themselves as having phimosis—far exceeding the medically estimated prevalence rate of 35–45% among Japanese men.

Notably, the 19-point gap between this '56% self-awareness rate' and the '37% surgery consideration rate' discussed below highlights a substantial group who 'are aware of their condition as a complex, but due to anxiety about pain or embarrassment, have not even taken the first step toward clinic visits or treatment consideration.' This 'aware but not yet considering' layer is remarkably thick.

Survey Result ② — Reality of Considering Phimosis Surgery: The Largest Single Question with 1,693 Responses

━━━

[Question] 'Have you ever considered phimosis surgery?' (N=1,693)

Yes (have considered): 37% / No: 63%

This question recorded the largest sample size in the survey. The participation of 1,693 individuals is exceptional for a single clinic’s SNS live stream, confirming high interest among SNS users in male aesthetic medicine.

The 37% consideration rate shows a 17-point gap from the 56% self-awareness rate. This implies that 16–17% of men 'are aware but have never even considered' surgery, revealing how high information barriers and psychological obstacles prevent medical engagement.

PRO CLINIC offers free counseling (by appointment, private room available), creating an accessible entry point where men can 'just come to talk' without pressure.
