Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I just got married, but my sex life with my wife isn't very harmonious. It's because my glans is too sensitive, so it doesn't last very long each time.My foreskin might be too long, as it completely covers my glans even in a normal state, but the foreskin opening is quite large and it's easy to retract.
I was thinking about retracting the foreskin and leaving it that way so the glans can be exposed to external stimulation, which might reduce its sensitivity. I'm not sure if this is good for the glans.
By the way, for my condition, is it better to have surgery or not?
Follow-up question: Could you please help me further?
Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce overhang occurs when the prepuce completely covers the glans penis, preventing it from naturally protruding. However, it can be retracted during cleaning, masturbation, or sexual intercourse. Due to chronic irritation from urine and smegma, prepuce overhang can lead to balanoposthitis, causing edema, congestion, erosion, and repeated cross-infection of the preputial mucosa, or even phimosis. If left untreated, the inflammation may ascend along the reproductive tract, leading to inflammation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis. Additionally, it can be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. Furthermore, it may also cause premature ejaculation. It is recommended to undergo surgery as early as possible to avoid the development of inflammation, which could affect overall health.
