What is the treatment for phimosis?
human
I'm am a 21 year old boy suffering from phimosis. i started noticing the condition this condition around 4 years back before which i had a normal functioning penis with full retraction of the foreskin. The foreskin started to get tighter as i grew up and now i'm unable to retract my foreskin. The tightening has stopped now. Last year i consulted a local general physician who confirmed that it was phimosis indeed. Is it possible to cure this condition without any surgical treatments like circumcision?

Hi, Need for circumcision depends on the severity of the phimosis. If it started for 1 year you need to get a direct check-up with a urologist and rule out diabetes or infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr B. Radhakrishnan. Nair, OBGYN
