Patient's question:
I have phimosis and lately, when I retract my foreskin, I noticed a foul-smelling yellow discharge and itchy.Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce elongation can be divided into true prepuce elongation and false prepuce elongation. True prepuce elongation refers to a condition where the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect. False prepuce elongation means that the glans cannot be fully exposed in the flaccid state, but it can be fully exposed when the penis is erect. Men with prepuce elongation should seek medical treatment early for circumcision. For non-inflammatory prepuce elongation, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the prepuce is regularly retracted and cleaned.
