Patient's question:
I am a male student. I want to ask about my foreskin. It doesn't cover the urethra, but when erect, the foreskin still covers the glans and cannot be exposed, but it can be exposed when I lift it with my hand. The foreskin gets stuck when pulled back to the glans and cannot return to its original position. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce redundancy can be divided into true prepuce redundancy and false prepuce redundancy. True prepuce redundancy refers to a condition where the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect. False prepuce redundancy means that the glans cannot be fully exposed in the flaccid state, but it can be fully exposed when the penis is erect. Men with prepuce redundancy should seek medical treatment early for circumcision. For non-inflammatory prepuce redundancy, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the prepuce is regularly retracted and cleaned.
