Patient's question:
I am 16 years old, and my foreskin is a bit short. Normally, the tip of my penis is exposed, and sometimes when I get an erection, the tip of my penis and my underwear rub uncomfortably. Now I've noticed that my urethral opening seems to be, but I don't feel anything. I wonder what the harm of having a short foreskin is?Doctor's answer:
During sexual intercourse, if the tension of the frenulum is too high, it may cause tearing or pain. This not only affects and dilutes the perception of sexual pleasure but also impacts the amplitude, frequency, and intensity of vaginal contractions. In such cases, it becomes difficult to stimulate the climax center, making it hard for ejaculation to occur again. Pain can also affect erection, making sexual intercourse difficult to complete. The fear of sexual pain will inevitably reduce the quality of sexual life, imposing heavy psychological pressure on the patient and severely impacting the marital relationship. If this condition persists without improvement, it can increase the inhibitory effect on the cerebral cortex, ultimately leading to low libido, weak erections, or even premature ejaculation.
