    Male foreskin is usually too long and the length of the foreskin of the penis has covered the glans and cannot expose the glans.

    The length of the male foreskin has covered the glans and wrapped the urethral opening inside. However, the glans can be exposed from the top manually, and the foreskin can automatically recover. It is called a full wrap. If the length of the foreskin has covered the glans and the external urethral opening is exposed, it is called a full wrap. It is half-wrapped. The length of the foreskin completely covers the glans and the foreskin cannot be turned up manually. Neither the urethral opening nor the glans can be exposed. This is called phimosis. If the foreskin is too long and there are no complications or other abnormal symptoms, you can choose Observe conservative treatment. No special treatment is needed. The inside should be cleaned frequently after eversion to avoid long-term accumulation of smegma. If it cannot be cleaned in time and how long it takes for smegma to accumulate, it may lead to the occurrence of balanitis, odor or symptoms of itching, redness, and swelling. When there is inflammation and infection, the infection should be controlled before going to the hospital for surgical treatment, such as circumcision. It is also necessary to choose an experienced doctor who can minimize the risk of surgery.

    In daily life, you should avoid sitting for a long time, choose the position where the glans and foreskin should be cleaned every day, and change underwear regularly.
