Patient's question:
How to determine if the foreskin is too long. If the foreskin is too long, is it necessary to have it circumcised?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend! In our country, phimosis is very common. To be diagnosed as phimosis, two conditions must be met: 1. The glans is covered by the foreskin when the penis is not erect; 2. The glans can be exposed by retracting the foreskin with the hand. If condition 1 is met but condition 2 is not, it is called phimosis.Phimosis indeed makes personal hygiene difficult, and it is generally recommended to have the excess foreskin removed. However, if personal hygiene habits are good and both partners take care during sexual activity, using condoms consistently, surgery may not be necessary. Pay close attention to hygiene!!!
Wishing you health!!!
