Glans penis: Difference between revisions

Line 127: Line 127:
As [[foreskin restoration]] proceeds and more foreskin is available, the [[restored foreskin]] will start to reside over the glans penis and the glans penis usually is bathed with oil and moisture by [[transudation]] in a manner similar to an [[intact]] [[penis]]. Over a period of several years, [[dekeratinization]] will continue and the glans will become softer, glossier, and more sensitive. There usually will be a return to more normal color. One cannot say how long this process will take due to a lack of data.
