Patient's question:
Erection of the penis is when the head cannot be fully exposed, is this phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, an erection of the penis with the glans not fully exposed is caused by phimosis. Phimosis can lead to balanitis. If not treated promptly, the inflammation can spread upwards along the reproductive tract, causing inflammation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, among other organs. It can also be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. Additionally, it may cause premature ejaculation. It is best to have a timely examination and consult a doctor for circumcision surgery.
