Patient's question:
Condition Description: My foreskin is very long, and when the penis is erect, it only exposes a small opening, which can also be pulled back.History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been performed.
Help Needed: How can I have a normal penis like others?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding excessive foreskin, I have two suggestions:1. False phimosis is not true phimosis and does not require surgical removal. False phimosis (which does not cause inflammation, does not lead to premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, or other complications) can be managed without surgery.
2. True phimosis must be surgically removed, otherwise, it will lead to serious consequences. Circumcision can effectively prevent recurrent balanitis, the occurrence of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, and eliminate the risk of infertility. Circumcision is one of the least invasive surgical procedures in urology and does not pose a threat to life or health. Modern techniques like microscopic photowave ionization result in very faint scars post-surgery, which do not affect appearance. Recovery typically takes 5–7 days, and no hospitalization is required—patients can be treated and go home the same day.
