Patient's question:
I am already 25 years old this year, and my foreskin has always covered my glans. I suspect it might be phimosis, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor could pull back my foreskin, but it was a bit forceful and painful. I immediately rolled it back up. The doctor said it wasn't phimosis and that it would be fine with more practice. However, it really does hurt a bit. It's a town hospital, so I don't know if it's scientifically sound. Please help me out and give me some advice. Currently, I often try to pull it back, and I can do it, but it's not as painful as before.Now, I can fully pull it back, exposing the glans, and it doesn't hurt much. However, the foreskin is still rolled up. I've only been doing this for 2 days, and it still hurts a bit when it touches the glans.
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is more likely that it is caused by phimosis entrapment. This condition requires emergency treatment and must be addressed immediately.Phimosis entrapment can lead to local penile swelling, which in turn worsens the entrapment. As a result, the foreskin cannot be retracted. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital immediately for treatment.
