Patient's question:
When my son was born, his foreskin was a bit long. When he was little, he often pulled it, and I always stopped him in time. Now that he's 5, when I bathe him, I noticed that a part of his foreskin hangs down. I'm very worried and would like to ask how to determine if his foreskin is phimosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in a natural state, the glans cannot be fully exposed, but during cleaning, it can be revealed by manually retracting the foreskin. This is considered phimosis. If the glans cannot be revealed by manual retraction, it is classified as paraphimosis. Whether it is phimosis or paraphimosis, from the perspective of preventing infection and improving sexual quality of life, it is recommended to undergo surgery at an early stage. We suggest you visit our department of reproductive and plastic surgery for consultation. We use the Korean-style circumcision technique, which takes only 15 minutes to complete, resulting in a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is beneficial for hygiene, health, and development, and significantly improves the quality of sexual life.
