True cases of phimosis cannot be cured through alternative means. You have to go for surgery (circumcision), which is a minor procedure.

Stretching, application of skin thinner ointments are used only in cases where skin can be pulled back to a large extent, but not fully.

Hello-
Yes, there is a non surgical treatment available in ayurveda. 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.

Not much dear. Problem is this, if you do not retract foreskin and clean, smegma will keep collecting, and it will give you more trouble.

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 in...more

Tight foreskin refers to the tightness of the skin that covers the tip of the male genitals. It leads to discomfort and pain to roll the skin back over the end of the genitals which may cause difficulty in having intercourse.

What happens when the condition is neglected?
If this condition is neglected, then it may lead to the folding of the foreskin on the neck of the penis permanently. This would cause severe pain when you try to bring back the foreskin to its actual position. Th...more
