Doctor's answer:

Hello, regarding excessive foreskin. Excessive foreskin refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the entire glans when the penis is flaccid. If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans but also has a narrow opening and cannot be retracted, this condition is called phimosis.
