Patient's question:
What is the definition of phimosis?Doctor's answer:
The male glans should naturally protrude in normal circumstances when erect. If it needs to be manually retracted to be exposed, it indicates phimosis. If it cannot be retracted at all, it is paraphimosis, which may require surgery, as it can affect sexual intercourse (sexual pleasure primarily comes from the friction between the glans and the vaginal walls. If the glans is always covered by the foreskin, there will be little sensation).Whether it is paraphimosis depends on the state during erection. If you feel insertion is difficult, it may be due to vaginal dryness. You should prepare (thorough foreplay) or use lubricant.
