I think I have phimosis. It is fairly easy to pull my foreskin back in normal state but a little uncomfortable to pull back when erect. But pulling foreskin is front of glans is almost impossible when erect. A few exercises did help But my glans gets a little red and swollen when erect And there is a tight swollen ring of skin behind my glans when foreskin is pulled back when erect. Will this be a hindrance to normal sexual life? If so. Any alternatives to circumcision?

The initial choice of treatment is a steroid ointment that is locally applied. (this can be suggested by a doctor after you are examined in person) the ointment softens the foreskin and is applied for up to 6 weeks. When full retraction is possible the ointment is stopped. If this treatment is unsuccessful, a circumcision (surgical removal of foreskin) may be advised.
