Patient's question:
I'm not young anymore, and I still haven't had a girlfriend. I've been in a relationship with one girl before, but we broke up because of inharmonious sex lives. I noticed that my foreskin seems to be quite long, but I'm not sure if it's normal. What is the standard for excessive foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the glans penis but can be retracted to reveal it. Almost all newborns have phimosis, and it is also common during childhood. If the foreskin is too long, it can easily trap bacteria and smegma, leading to various inflammatory conditions. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local reputable hospital as early as possible. Phimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
