Patient's question:
I don't know which type of phimosis I belong to. I want to ask what are the types of phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where, in adult males, the foreskin covers the glans, preventing it from being fully exposed. It can be categorized into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis is when the glans cannot be fully exposed even during an erection. False phimosis, on the other hand, is when the glans is not fully exposed at rest but can be fully exposed during an erection. Circumcision refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans, with the glans never being exposed at any time.
