Patient's question:
Recently, there has been an increase in discharge from my underwear, with white discharge inside as well. There's also an unpleasant odor, and it's a bit itchy. I've already been paying attention to hygiene. When I get an erection, I can't look at the head of my penis; I have to wait until it's soft to see it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is narrow, making it difficult to retract the foreskin. Determining whether it is phimosis or just excessive foreskin can be done through a self-examination. The method for confirmation is as follows: Apply soap to the penis to lubricate the foreskin and its inner surface. Use your left hand to hold the penis in place and use your right hand to push the foreskin backward and retract it. If the foreskin can be retracted smoothly, it indicates excessive foreskin. If the foreskin opening is too small to retract, it is phimosis. We recommend that you visit a professional hospital for examination and consult a doctor to help you determine whether you have phimosis. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
