How is the foreskin considered?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: To understand oneself

Doctor's answer:

Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans of the penis, and the glans cannot naturally protrude. However, the foreskin can be retracted during cleaning, masturbation, or sexual intercourse, allowing the glans to be exposed. Therefore, phimosis is different from paraphimosis. Paraphimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin not only covers the glans but also cannot be retracted to expose the glans. I believe everyone knows that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
