Patient's question:
Can a little bit of the glans penis be exposed and still be considered phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis refers to the condition where the foreskin of the penis covers the glans, preventing it from being fully exposed, but it can be retracted manually to reveal the glans. On the other hand, paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin opening is too small, making it impossible to retract the foreskin, and the glans cannot be exposed. If left untreated, it can lead to sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation. It is recommended that patients seek professional urological examination and treatment as soon as possible.
