What is phimosis and what are the treatment options?

Hello,

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin of the penis cannot be fully retracted over the glans (head). If it persists or causes discomfort, treatment may be necessary.

When to Seek Medical Attention:

• Pain or discomfort during urination or sexual activity.
• Recurrent infections (balanitis).
• Difficulty maintaining hygiene.

Treatment Options:

1. Topical Steroid Creams: Applied to the foreskin to help loosen it gradually.
2. Manual Stretching Exercises: Guided by a healthcare professional to help stretch the foreskin.
3. Circumcision: Surgical removal of the foreskin in severe or recurrent cases.

Important Notes:

If you're experiencing discomfort or complications, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or reach out to HexaHealth for guidance and personalized care.
