What should I do if the foreskin causes penis shortening?

Patient's question:

I am only 18 years old. Will the penis still grow after circumcision? The penis is about the size of an infant's because of the foreskin, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Excessive foreskin or phimosis can have a certain impact on the growth and development of the penis. After circumcision, if the glans penis is exposed, it can assist in growth and development. It is recommended to eat more zinc-rich foods, wear loose underwear and breathable clothing, and allow the penis to grow freely, generally until the age of 25.

If urological diseases do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
