Hello- Phimosis or tight foreskin in old age has been linked with an increased risk of infection, loss of sexual stimulation of the penis and even penis cancer. So its better not to neglect the issue. Traditionally medicine offers conservative treatment of phimosis. It is worth noting that in recent years, medicine has made great progress in this field. So, if you looking for a permanent solution for your tight foreskin, yes it is possible with Ayurveda. Surgery (circumcision) can be avoided.
