Patient's question:
Can the penis head be too small to be treated? What should I do if the head of the penis is always pulled and bent when erect due to the frenulum?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Excessive foreskin prevents the secretion of sebaceous glands from the foreskin from being expelled, gradually forming foul-smelling smegma. Smegma is conducive to bacterial growth, which can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. Inflammation at the urethral meatus, if healed, can lead to narrowing of the urethral meatus, causing difficulty in urination. Long-term stimulation of the glans penis by smegma may also lead to penile cancer. It is also prone to injury during sexual intercourse.Advice: Excessive foreskin should be treated surgically at a hospital as early as possible. For non-inflammatory excessive foreskin, it can be avoided through frequent retraction and cleaning of the foreskin.
