Patient's question:
Hello, my phimosis is very severe. Sometimes when my penis is hard, the head of the penis does not fully expose.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans when the penis is flaccid, but it can be retracted to expose the glans. When the penis is erect, the glans can be seen but is not fully exposed. The impact of phimosis is that it makes it easy to develop balanitis. If the foreskin is not cleaned regularly, it can cause harm to sexual partners, causing them pain and leading to diseases such as vaginal, cervical, and pelvic in women. The most serious consequence is that it can even lead to cancer in women. Teenagers who suffer from phimosis or excessive foreskin should undergo circumcision at an early stage. For non-inflammatory phimosis, it can be managed without surgery as long as the foreskin is regularly retracted and cleaned.
