How can men know if they have phimosis or redundant prepuce?
Disease description:
My boyfriend said yesterday that his genital area has been itchy and painful for the past few days. He suspects it might be due to long foreskin or phimosis. How can he tell whether he has phimosis or just a long foreskin?

In such cases, it is best to go to the hospital and have a professional doctor perform cleaning; otherwise, the condition may worsen and even lead to other inflammations. It's important to maintain local hygiene of the penis and wash hands frequently. Phimosis is not a very serious condition and can be treated with circumcision. Maintain good personal hygiene, wash underwear regularly, and avoid touching the foreskin with hands.
