Patient's question:
I am nineteen years old, and my foreskin hasn't retracted yet. Last night, I retracted it myself, but I haven't put it back yet and don't plan to. Is it okay to retract the foreskin with my hands?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin can affect the growth and development of the penis, making it prone to recurrent inflammation and impacting women's health. If you notice excessive foreskin, it is recommended to have surgery as early as possible to avoid inflammation and potential health issues. For severe cases of male genitourinary diseases, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition. At this time, pay attention to your diet—eat small, frequent meals, avoid greasy foods, and try to rest in bed as much as possible.
