Patient's question:
I would like to ask, what exactly is phimosis and paraphimosis? The glans becomes exposed after erection, but it doesn't go past the corona, is this still considered phimosis? Sometimes during sex, it gets soft on its own, is this considered premature ejaculation? Thank you.......... I haven't gone to the hospital for a thorough examination yet! What kind of help is needed: How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,A prolonged prepuce refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the glans in a natural state or during erection, but the glans can be manually retracted. If the foreskin remains covering the glans during erection and the glans cannot be manually exposed, it is phimosis. This can lead to sexual discomfort, recurrent infections, and even the risk of tumors, requiring surgical intervention. The surgery is simple and can be performed on an outpatient basis with low costs.
