Patient's question:
I have a foreskin that can be retracted, but after retracting it, I can't insert it into the vagina. The head of my penis always slides down. Why? Urgent!Doctor's answer:
The relationship between the penis and the foreskin has three types: one is normal, where the glans is exposed; another is phimosis, where the foreskin is too long and covers the glans, but it can be retracted to reveal the glans; and the third is paraphimosis, where the foreskin tightly covers the glans and cannot be retracted. In the above cases, there is no need to worry. If the foreskin is too long or normal, it does not affect sexual life. Phimosis requires surgical treatment to solve the problem. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the glans in a natural state or during erection, but the glans can be manually retracted. If the foreskin covers the glans during erection and the glans cannot be manually retracted, it is paraphimosis and should be surgically treated.
