How is phimosis caused in men

Patient's question:

My foreskin is too long. When the penis is not erect, the head of the penis does not naturally expose itself. Sometimes when I go to the toilet, I have to manually push it out. Now I have many problems and want to consider getting a circumcision again. How is it caused that a male has an overly long foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, excessive foreskin is a common male condition, and its occurrence is related to one's own physique and genetic factors. It can affect the sensitivity of the glans, and in some cases, it may lead to glans inflammation, which requires attention. For patients, it is recommended to undergo surgical removal of the excessive foreskin at an early stage to reduce the sensitivity of the glans and prolong sexual activity time. Post-surgery, proper care should be taken to prevent surgical incision infection.
