Patient's question:
When the penis is not erect, the foreskin almost covers the glans. After erection, one-third of the glans is exposed. Is this considered phimosis? Should it be treated with a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
If the foreskin is too long, it may affect normal life and development. But as long as the foreskin does not affect development and can retract the glans after erection without affecting sexual life, it is fine. If it does affect it, it needs to be removed. The penis only becomes erect under stimulation and congestion, and it shrinks after stimulation, which is a normal phenomenon.
