Patient's question:
Male reproductive organs. Flaccid means the foreskin completely covers the glans. The foreskin can be retracted by hand. The glans is exposed. After erection, it also completely covers the glans. When retracting the foreskin by hand, only a little part of the glans is exposed. Is this phimosis? Do I need to see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
Excess foreskin, phimosis, is a common issue among many men. After suffering from excess foreskin or phimosis, chronic stimulation from urine and smegma can cause swelling, congestion, erosion, and repeated cross-infection of the foreskin and glans, even leading to phimotic retraction and severe consequences such as necrosis of the foreskin and glans. It is recommended to seek active treatment at a hospital.
