Patient's question:
There is a row of small tooth-like substances at the glans cap, and there is some inflammation at the urethral orifice.Doctor's answer:
Hello: phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the entire glans and urethral meatus but can still be retracted. Phimosis is prone to accumulating smegma or smegma stones under the foreskin, leading to bacterial infections and causing balanoposthitis. If the foreskin opening is wide and easily retractable, surgical treatment is generally not required, but it should be regularly retracted and cleaned. In your case, the foreskin can be retracted, but the urethral meatus is swollen and red, suggesting balanoposthitis caused by inflammation. Therefore, you need treatment.
