Patient's question:
I have phimosis and lately, when I retract my foreskin, I noticed a foul-smelling, yellowish liquid and itchy.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis refers to a condition where the glans cannot be fully exposed even when the penis is erect. False phimosis, on the other hand, means the glans cannot be fully exposed at rest but can be fully exposed when the penis is erect. Men with phimosis should seek medical treatment early for a circumcision procedure. For non-inflammatory phimosis, regular cleaning by retracting the foreskin may not require surgery.
