Patient's question:
I found that every time I get an erection, my glans cannot be exposed. Is this condition considered phimosis? I've heard that phimosis can be quite harmful. May I ask: what should I do if I just have phimosis adhesion?Doctor's answer:
The foreskin refers to the double-layered skin of the penis that folds over the glans. In infancy, the foreskin is often longer, covering the glans and urethral meatus, which is known as physiological phimosis. As one grows older, the penis and foreskin gradually develop. During puberty, the foreskin retracts backward, exposing the glans by adulthood. Circumcision, a minor surgical procedure, is used to treat conditions such as excessive foreskin or phimosis. The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes and does not require hospitalization. The risk of complications is very low. Possible complications include: removal of too little foreskin, resulting in a (stenotic ring); the glans not being able to protrude outward; excessive foreskin removal leading to painful erections or penile upward curvature. However, these cases are rare. Precautions.
