Patient's question:
What kind of situation is considered phimosis? My foreskin is very small when it's not hard, only about 1 to 2 centimeters, and the glans is not exposed. When it's hard, I can pull the glans out with my hand. What's going on? What kind of help do I need: How to treat severe phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, phimosis refers to a small preputial orifice that cannot be retracted to reveal the glans penis. Congenital phimosis is due to physiological natural adhesion between the newborn's foreskin and the glans penis. Acquired phimosis is often secondary to inflammation of the glans penis and preputial foreskin, leading to scarred cicatricial contraction of the preputial orifice. For adult phimosis, as the preputial orifice presents as a fibrous, circumcision is required. Wishing you good luck and good health.
