Patient's question:
I am a male student and I want to ask about my foreskin. It doesn't cover the urethra, but when I'm erect, the foreskin still covers the glans and it can't be exposed, but it can be exposed when I lift it with my hand. The foreskin gets stuck when pulled back to the glans and can't return to its original position. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Penile prepuce can be divided into true prepuce and false prepuce. True prepuce refers to a condition where the glans cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erect. False prepuce, on the other hand, means the glans cannot be fully exposed in a non-erect state, but it can be fully exposed after the penis is erect. Men with prepuce should seek medical treatment early for a prepuce. For non-inflammatory prepuce, it is not necessary to undergo surgery as long as the prepuce is regularly retracted and cleaned.
