What is the difference between foreskin and phimosis?

The main difference between foreskin and phimosis is that the degree of foreskin inversion is different, so you need to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations.

Phimosis generally means that the outer opening of the foreskin is relatively small and the foreskin cannot be turned upward. The foreskin generally means that the head of the penis cannot be exposed, but it can be turned over in this case. Some patients have congenital foreskin that cannot be turned up, or it may be caused by local inflammation. Patients need to go to the hospital for a simple physical examination to distinguish them, and surgical treatment is also required to help treat them.

If the foreskin cannot evert out, it may lead to balanitis, which will affect normal sexual life. It should be treated in time and local hygiene care should be strengthened.
