Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and always feel that my penis is different from others. My friend said this is called phimosis. I heard that such a condition can easily cause male diseases and affect sexual life. I would like to ask, what is phimosis? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the glans cannot naturally be exposed and is covered by the foreskin, and it can be retracted with the hand to reveal the glans, it is considered phimosis. If it cannot be retracted even with the hand, it is considered paraphimosis.Advice: The main risk is that prolonged stimulation by smegma may lead to inflammation or even trigger cancer, so surgical treatment is highly recommended. This is especially true for paraphimosis, where surgery is even more necessary.
