Is it okay to wear a condom if you have long foreskin?

Patient's question:

I and my girlfriend are not comfortable when we are in the same room, because wearing a condom is uncomfortable for me. I have excessive foreskin, and usually my glans can be retracted. It can come out both when erect and when not erect. When the foreskin is retracted, it gets stuck at the corona, and the condom pulls the foreskin off, which is very uncomfortable. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

1. If the hygiene conditions are good enough to do so, that is to say, if the smegma can be wiped clean, and if sexual life is also harmonious, then surgery is not necessary. Conversely, one should consider having surgery.
2. If it does not affect sexual life, there is no need to think too much about it. If you and your girlfriend both feel that sexual life is harmonious, even if the foreskin always wraps the condom, it doesn’t matter. However, some people also say that it’s better to have it cut. The temporary pain can be exchanged for long-term happiness, which is still worth it. For serious conditions of andrological diseases, it is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment according to the doctor’s advice, and it is hoped that patients can follow the doctor’s advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care training, proper diet, and avoiding worsening the condition.
