Patient's question:
I had phimosis, and I just pushed it out, but it won't go back in. Now I'm feeling some discomfort, which has led to a buildup of smegma internally and caused inflammation and adhesion. Symptoms of balanoposthitis have already appeared.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 after the penis is erect. False phimosis, on the other hand, means that the glans cannot be fully exposed when the penis is flaccid, but it can be fully exposed when the penis is erect. Men with phimosis should seek medical treatment early for circumcision. For non-inflammatory phimosis, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the foreskin is regularly retracted and cleaned.
