Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have very mild phimosis. I face slight difficulty fully retracting my foreskin when my penis is fully erect. I am easily able to retract my foreskin when not erect. I have tried stretching exercises but have not seen a drastic improvement. Can you suggest any solution so that I can completely get rid of this problem?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can engage in intercourse with the foreskin retracted. If that does not work, or if there is a problem with masturbation, one option is to get a small dorsal slit done, but cosmetically it does not look good. The best solution is a routine circumcision. A partial circumcision can also be done, and it would make foreskin movement easier and leave some skin for masturbation.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
