Patient's question:
Doctor, my penis doesn't reach a 90-degree erection and is slightly bent upwards. Is this normal? Is it caused by phimosis? Recently, after masturbation, I noticed that I can't achieve a 90-degree erection and it's slightly bent upwards. Is this normal? Does phimosis affect the erection angle? Thank you very much for quickly clarifying this for me.Doctor's answer:
After children grow and mature, the glans will become exposed. If the foreskin needs to be manually retracted to expose the glans, it is called phimosis. If the foreskin cannot be retracted, it is called paraphimosis, both of which interfere with the development of the penis. If the glans cannot be exposed, surgical treatment is required.Treatment for balanitis: Excessive foreskin in men can significantly affect the glans, leading to premature ejaculation. Phimosis can also interfere with erections. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital for circumcision.
There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since each patient's condition is different, the chosen treatment method will vary. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms appear.
