Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
For cases presenting with a short penis and redundant foreskin, the following measures can be considered:
1. Circumcision: This is a commonly used and effective treatment for redundant foreskin. The procedure involves surgically removing the excess foreskin, which can resolve issues caused by excessive foreskin, such as smegma accumulation and inflammation.
2. Improve lifestyle habits: Regardless of whether surgical treatment is pursued, developing healthy lifestyle habits can help alleviate symptoms and promote overall recovery. It is recommended to wear loose-fitting underwear, avoid excessive masturbation, maintain adequate sleep, and engage in regular physical activity to support general health.
3. Dietary adjustments: Increasing intake of zinc may help improve conditions of a short penis and redundant foreskin. Foods rich in zinc include kelp, sesame seeds, peanuts, and similar items, which patients can incorporate into their daily diet.
If needed, timely medical consultation is advised.
