Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a young adult and I have issues regarding my penis. My foreskin covers my penis in a normal state as well as an erectile state. What should I do?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. Phimosis is a congenital narrowing of the opening of the foreskin so that it cannot be retracted. Phimosis is a very common problem. In most cases, you can clear the problem yourself. Phimosis could cause moderate to severe pain while having vaginal intercourse. Apply oil on your foreskin and on the glans. Move the foreskin forward and back slowly without hurting you much. Because the oil is a lubricant, it will be easier than without oil. Do this forward and back movement 20 times several times a day. Repeat the same every day for around one month. You will get the elasticity and you will be able to retract the foreskin completely. In case there is no result from the above massage, you can always go for a minor surgical procedure called circumcision.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
