Patient's question:
I don't know which type of phimosis I belong to. I want to ask what are the types of phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition in which the penis skin of a grown man covers the glans, preventing it from being fully exposed. It can be further divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis is when the glans cannot be fully exposed even when the penis is erect. False phimosis, on the other hand, is when the glans cannot be fully exposed at rest but can be fully exposed when the penis is erect. Phimosis, in contrast, refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans, with the glans never being exposed at any time.
