Patient's question:
I really don't know what is called phimosis and what counts as phimosis. When my foreskin is retracted, the entire glans can be exposed, but in the middle, there is still a connection between the glans and the foreskin. It's a bit uncomfortable when erect, specifically at the part where the glans and foreskin are connected. Does this count as phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, under normal conditions, the glans cannot be fully exposed, but it can be revealed by flipping it up with your hand during cleaning. This is considered phimosis. If the glans cannot be exposed by flipping it up with your hand, 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.
