Patient's question:
I would like to ask about the harms of excessive foreskin! I usually don't pay attention to personal hygiene, and sometimes I masturbate 3-4 times a day for 7 years. If my hands are dirty, I wipe the sperm flowing from the glans and penis. Now, the glans and penis are sore, and I also have symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and hesitation.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin cannot be retracted to expose the glans penis due to a narrowed foreskin or adhesion between the foreskin and the glans penis caused by inflammation. Phimosis is classified as congenital or acquired. Congenital phimosis is divided into atrophic and hypertrophic types. Acquired phimosis is caused by inflammation, trauma, etc., leading to adhesion and narrowing of the foreskin opening. With the growth and erection of the penis, the foreskin can retract spontaneously to reveal the glans penis in congenital phimosis.
