At the age of 20, if the glans has not retracted, is it normal?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am 20 years old and I don't have a prominent glans yet. Everything else is normal. Is it normal or not?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you haven't exposed it yet and can retract it with your hand, it's phimosis; if you can't retract it even with your hand, it's paraphimosis, which definitely requires surgery. Phimosis or paraphimosis mainly pose risks as prolonged stimulation from smegma can lead to inflammation or even trigger cancer. Even with phimosis, it's best to have surgery. I believe everyone knows that male dysfunction can cause significant harm to men, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods, maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
