Question
Does an overlong foreskin affect other parts of the body’s growth?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo surgery early on, as an overlong foreskin can lead to gynecological inflammation and increase the risk of penile cancer. Typically, if a boy’s foreskin remains very narrow at the opening after the age of 5 or 6, and the glans of the penis cannot be easily revealed during a checkup, this is usually diagnosed as true phimosis, and such cases should be treated with surgery.
