Patient's question:
I am currently in my second year of high school. My foreskin is still completely covering my glans. Is this considered phimosis? Let's check if my foreskin is too long.Doctor's answer:
In normal adult males after puberty, the glans penis is fully or mostly exposed. If the glans cannot be exposed, the foreskin still tightly covers all or most of the glans, but the foreskin can be retracted manually or the glans can be exposed when the foreskin retracts after erection, this is called phimosis. The dangers of phimosis include: hindering penile growth and development, causing penile inflammation, endangering kidney function, affecting women's health, and posing a risk of carcinogens. It is recommended to clean the external genital area daily and keep it dry. If inflammation frequently recurs, it is advisable to undergo circumcision at a regular hospital. In addition to seeking proper medical treatment for male urological conditions, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
