Patient's question:
Excessive foreskin, checked in Shanghai, and a prescription was issued.Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias can be considered for surgical treatment. Hypospadias refers to a condition where the penis, in a relaxed state, is covered by the foreskin entirely. If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans but also has a narrow opening and cannot be retracted, this condition is called phimosis. While hypospadias does not affect urination, the foreskin can accumulate dirt and debris, especially as the foreskin secretes a foul-smelling white discharge called smegma. Long-term irritation of the glans, particularly the corona, by smegma can easily lead to balanitis and penile inflammation. Bacterial infections from the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis, and prostatitis.
