Hello, I'm a health educator with a focus on sexual health and anatomy. I'm here to provide you with accurate and respectful information.
When discussing the appearance of an uncircumcised penis, it's important to note that there is a wide range of normal variation. The key difference between a circumcised and uncircumcised penis is the presence of the
foreskin. The foreskin is a fold of skin that covers the
glans (head) of the penis in uncircumcised males.
Here's a general description:
1. Foreskin: It is a retractable sheath of skin that can be pulled back to expose the glans.
2. Glans: The head of the penis, which is typically covered by the foreskin when not retracted.
3. Prepuce: Another term for the foreskin, which is often used in medical contexts.
4. Retraction: The ability to pull back the foreskin to clean underneath or for sexual activity.
It's important to maintain good hygiene by regularly cleaning under the foreskin to prevent the buildup of smegma, a substance that can accumulate if not regularly cleaned.
