Patient's question:
I'd like to ask how exactly the foreskin and phimosis are like? If the glans is exposed after erection but doesn't go past the corona, is that considered a foreskin? Sometimes during sex it gets soft on its own, is that considered erectile dysfunction?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 have surgery as early as possible.
