Patient's question:
What are the reasons for excessive foreskin? Recently, I noticed that my foreskin is a bit long, and sometimes it feels uncomfortable, such as a sensation of itching and swelling. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis is a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans penis, and the glans cannot naturally protrude, but the foreskin can be moved during cleaning, sexual intercourse, and urination. There are many reasons that can lead to phimosis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for circumcision surgery. After the surgery, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and tobacco, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Phimosis can be resolved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately.
