Patient's question:
I have phimosis and lately, I've retracted my foreskin and noticed a foul-smelling, yellowish liquid. My glans is also itchy.Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce elongation can be divided into true prepuce elongation and false prepuce elongation. True prepuce elongation refers to a condition where the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect. False prepuce elongation refers to a situation where the glans cannot be fully exposed at rest, but it can be fully exposed after the penis is erect. Men with prepuce elongation should seek medical treatment early for a prepuce circumcision. For non-inflammatory prepuce elongation, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the prepuce is regularly retracted and cleaned.
