Patient's question:
In a flaccid state, most of the glans is covered, only the front half is visible, and it can be flipped up freely without obstruction. After erection, it cannot be flipped up, but if flipped up in a flaccid state and then erected, there is no significant discomfort. I don't know how it could happen again, but if this operation is performed, the foreskin cannot be immediately after flaccid. It would need to wait for about 8 hours for the glans to swell, and I wonder if a circumcision is necessary due to excessive foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Excess foreskin is definitely present. Another issue is that the foreskin sheath is relatively narrow. It can easily become trapped during erection. For your condition, surgery is definitely necessary. This surgery can also benefit your overall health afterward. Typically, after the procedure, you'll need to receive intravenous fluids for several days to reduce inflammation and change dressings multiple times. It usually takes about a week to heal and form a scar. For patients with excess foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life.
