Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a medical student, and I came across phimosis. My prepuce can be retracted easily and normally but when I get erect it does not retracts on own and even if I do it forcibly it gets stuck around corona which is painful. Is this a problem? If yes can I do something on my own and if I need a radical therapy, should I wait till my marriage?
Hello.
Welcome to the icliniq.com.
In a flaccid state, the foreskin can be retracted back over the shaft of the penis easily even in phimosis case. However, you have a problem in erection state as well, and hence you have mild degree phimosis. For that topical steroid cream can be used after consultation with your dermatologist. If it does not help, then you can selectively undergo one daycare surgery that is circumcision. But it is an elective operation, which means the procedure can be done anytime as per your convenience. I hope I have solved your query.
