Patient's question:
My son has recently been fond of touching his penis. His family has been teasing him about it. I stopped him and said it might be itchy. Yesterday, while giving him a bath, I noticed his penis head was very red, like it was inflamed. My husband said it might be due to phimosis and paraphimosis. He said it's nothing, but I'm still worried. What are the symptoms of phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to the foreskin tightly wrapping around the entire glans, preventing the glans from naturally exposing itself. However, during sexual activity, intercourse, or washing, the foreskin moves, exposing the glans. Unlike phimosis, phimosis involves the foreskin not only encircling the glans but also remaining stationary, preventing the glans from being exposed. Both phimosis and phimosis (repeated) can lead to inflammation of the foreskin glands. It is recommended that you address this issue as soon as possible. The above is the advice for "What are the symptoms of phimosis and phimosis." It is hoped that this will assist you, and I wish you good health!
