Patient's question:
How to distinguish between phimosis and paraphimosis? If there is excessive prepuce, how can the prepuce and phimosis be distinguished?Doctor's answer:
If there is phimosis and paraphimosis, the main method of differentiation is: Apply soap to the penis to make the foreskin and inner foreskin slippery. Fix the penis with the left hand, and push the foreskin backward with the right hand and turn it over. If the foreskin can be flipped up smoothly, it is phimosis. If the foreskin orifice is too small to be flipped up, it is paraphimosis.Advice: It is recommended that patients go to a professional and regular hospital for examination and treatment to ensure the safety of the surgery. Postoperative recovery is quick, and it won’t delay work or studies. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
