Hello Abhay Ji,

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis.

Some signs that might suggest phimosis include:

  1. Difficulty or inability to retract the foreskin fully when erect or flaccid.

  2. Pain or tightness when attempting to pull back the foreskin.

  3. Repeated infections or irritation in the area.

However, if you can retract your foreskin without significant pain or difficulty, you may be fine. Some men naturally have tighter foreskins that don’t cause issues or require treatment.

Virtual Consultation Support

We can help you with a virtual (online) consultation with a specialist who can assess your condition and determine if you have phimosis. Based on this assessment, the specialist can suggest the best treatment options for you.
