Patient's question:
I have a long foreskin. When I pull it back, the head of my penis becomes hard and looks like it's filled with blood. It's a bit painful due to the tightness. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
After retracting the foreskin, the glans will again become flushed. In this case, it is likely due to excessive foreskin. When the foreskin edge is tightly retracted, it interferes with blood circulation during erection, causing the glans to become flushed. In this situation, it is recommended to undergo a circumcision procedure at the hospital. Excessive foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment time is generally long, and there is a higher risk of complications after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid foods, smoking, and drinking alcohol.
