Patient's question:
My penis cannot be seen when it is not erect, and even when it is erect, it is still covered. I suspect I have phimosis and want to understand what causes it.Doctor's answer:
This is a case of phimosis. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is too small, preventing the foreskin from retracting to reveal the glans penis. For phimosis, the only treatment is to undergo a circumcision, and it should be done early. For severe cases of male genital diseases, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications to treat the condition, as this may worsen the situation.
