Hello I am 22 years old male. From last 1 month my foreskin is behaving weird. Sometimes the foreskin opening gets tight sometimes it’s lose when I massage it. Currently when my penis is in normal size I can pull my foreskin back fully and can bring out my penis head out fully but when my penis is erect or can say when it is hard after pulling foreskin midway there is some soreness on foreskin and it gets tight due to which I can’t pull it down fully. My chemist suggested me to use “mupirocin ointment” so applying it helps but again after few days I get this issue. Can anyone help on this and why it’s happening and cure for this.

Hello-"phimosis" is the technical term for an un-retractable foreskin. The foreskin of the penis is not retractable in an infant or a young child. This is considered to be a normal part of development. As the child grows into puberty the foreskin naturally separates itself from the head of the penis, allowing for complete retraction. This becomes a particularly important function for the male in terms of hygiene, especially with cleaning of the penis and its head as well as in terms of sexual intercourse or masturbation. An acute case of phimosis may create problems for the person when he would want to pass urine or to perform sex, as this action may either be restricted or become troublesome. This is when phimosis becomes a medical emergency. It has been linked with an increased risk of infection, loss of sexual stimulation of the penis and even penis cancer. 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.
