“Phimosis and excess foreskin can make glans exposure and local hygiene difficult”

The penis has skin that covers the glans (head of the penis). This skin is called the foreskin and in many cases, it can be affected by problems. Patients who have excess penile skin and cannot expose the glans are carriers of phimosis. If the patient has a lot of skin but manages to expose the glans, he has an excess foreskin.

Phimosis and excess foreskin can make it difficult to expose the glans and clean the area, which can lead to infection in the area (called balanitis). This infection can cause itching, pain, and redness and is very uncomfortable for the patient. Usually, it can be caused by a fungus and improves with local treatment with ointment.

Phimosis can occur at any age, being very common in children, but it can also happen in adults and elderly patients. In cases where local treatment does not improve the infection or when the patient has very closed phimosis, surgery needs to be performed.

To prevent yourself and ask questions about the topic, the best strategy is to look for your sexologist in Delhi.
