Patient's question:
Hello, when my penis is hard, it only covers half of the glans, and when it's soft, it covers the entire glans, but it can still be used for sexual activity. Is it still possible to have surgery in this case? Is it necessary to have surgery for excessive foreskin?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to have surgery for phimosis. Phimosis, due to chronic irritation from urine and smegma over a long period, can induce balanoposthitis, causing swelling, congestion, erosion of the foreskin mucosa, repeated cross-infection, and even phimotic paraphimosis. Additionally, it can be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. Furthermore, it can also lead to premature ejaculation. From the perspective of preventing infection and improving sexual quality of life, it is still recommended that you have the surgery as early as possible!
