How long should the foreskin be cut?

Patient's question:

I have excessive foreskin and am planning to have surgery. How long should the foreskin be cut?

Doctor's answer:

How many incisions are made during the specific surgery? You just need to go to the hospital, and the doctor will know. In normal adult males, the foreskin should naturally retract during an erection, fully exposing the glans and corona. For your situation, if the foreskin can naturally retract to reveal the glans and corona during an erection, it is normal. If the foreskin cannot fully retract to reveal the glans during an erection, it indicates phimosis, which may require surgical removal for treatment. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce complications, while delayed treatment may affect overall health.
