Is it necessary to have the foreskin removed if it is too long?

Patient's question:

Does phimosis necessarily require resection? Is the glans normally exposed outside?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, phimosis needs to be resected. Phimosis in males refers to the condition where the foreskin covers the urethral meatus, but if it is retracted, the urethral meatus and glans penis can be exposed. Currently, the recommended treatment for phimosis is surgical, but this is after all a surgical procedure on the male organ, so safety must be taken into account. Choosing a regular hospital for circumcision can give men more peace of mind.
