Patient's question:
I am 20 years old. I have always had phimosis, and only half of my glans is exposed when erect. When not erect, it is fully covered. Recently, I've noticed that my glans is very sensitive, so I have been retracting my foreskin. I have taken medication for a long time to treat prostatitis, but it hasn't made much difference. Will too much foreskin be removed below the urethral meatus after circumcision?Doctor's answer:
If the foreskin is too long and the glans becomes sensitive again, it is still recommended to have surgery. The doctor will make an actual assessment based on your condition. The amount of foreskin removal will depend on your specific situation, so there is no need to worry too much about this. After the surgery, the glans may be more exposed to the outside world than usual. When the foreskin is too long, it covers the glans, which can cause a more sensitive reaction. It will require a certain recovery period, and initially, there may be some pain, but it will gradually subside as you recover.
