Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have my penis foreskin tip tight and rigid and is not moving back for past one month.

Answered by Dr. Karthik Rajan

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query. From your description and photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it looks like you have a condition described as phimosis. It is a fairly common condition and can be easily treated by a simple surgical procedure called circumcision. I would suggest you visit your local urologist who can perform the surgery.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply,

Is there any other way apart from surgery to treat this?

Answered by Dr. Karthik Rajan

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In adults, the only way to manage this condition is by surgery. But do not worry it is a minor procedure, which is usually done in a daycare basis.

Regards.
