Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend had surgery for excessive foreskin at the hospital two days ago. I've heard him say before that he felt his foreskin was too long. I'm not really sure what length is considered excessive. I'd like to ask you, what is the normal length of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis refers to a condition where the male penis, after erection, cannot expose the glans normally, with the foreskin tightly covering it. This condition is known as phimosis. If a man has phimosis, it can affect the sensitivity of the female's glans, leading to issues such as premature ejaculation, early ejaculation, and other symptoms. Some patients may also develop balanitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin) due to phimosis. For patients with phimosis, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at a local hospital as early as possible. The surgery can be performed using minimally invasive methods such as the Korean technique or laser surgery. It is a minor procedure with minimal impact on the body.
