What should I do if I have excessive foreskin?

Patient's question:

The lower body always feels smelly and unpleasant, and there are also occasional inflammations.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Excessive foreskin refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the entire glans penis, and the foreskin opening is not small, allowing the glans to be exposed when retracted. In infants and young children, excessive foreskin is often physiological. If the glans cannot be exposed even after puberty, it is referred to as phimosis or excessive foreskin. When phimosis or excessive foreskin is present, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be expelled, gradually forming foul-smelling smegma. Smegma provides a suitable environment for bacterial growth, which can lead to inflammation of the glans and foreskin.
