Patient's question:
There is a row of small tooth-like substances at the glans cap, and there is some inflammation at the urethral orifice.Doctor's answer:
Hello: phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the entire glans and urethral meatus but can still be retracted. Phimosis is prone to accumulating smegma or smegma stones under the foreskin, which can lead to bacterial infections and cause balanoposthitis. If the foreskin opening is wide and easily retractable, surgical treatment is generally not required, but it should be cleaned regularly. In your case, the foreskin can be retracted, but the urethral meatus is swollen, suggesting balanoposthitis caused by inflammation. Therefore, you need treatment.
