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:
- Topical Steroid Creams: Applied to the foreskin to help loosen it gradually.
- Manual Stretching Exercises: Guided by a healthcare professional to help stretch the foreskin.
- 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.
