Question 1

is it possible for to have phimosis after circumcision?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is certainly possible but depends ona  few things. Was this a newborn circumcision or a circumcision performed as an adult? Did they leave a lot of skin behind? Was there any other surgery performed at the same time? There are some strange diseases that can cause this like balanitis xerotica obliterans

Question 2

what are cures for phimosis that don't involve circumcision?

Accepted Answer

Steroid cream: I've seen some pediatric urologists recommend a steroid ointment to break adhesions. I am not sure how effective this is, though.

Question 3

what measures can be taken to permanently resolve phimosis in an adult, aside from circumcision?

Accepted Answer

None: If steroid creams and foreskin stretching does not resolve the problem, circumcision is the only alternative.

Question 4

phimosis: how to get rid of it besides circumcision?

Accepted Answer

Probably: The best solution, but discuss it with your urologist.

Question 5

what are the main symptoms of phimosis and what are the best treatments excluding circumcision?

Accepted Answer

Circumcision is best: Glans skin will become less sensitive as time goes by after circumcision. You might like to try steriod cream such as Betamethasone or kenalog (triamcinolone). They relieve phimosis in about 5)%  after twice daily applications to the tight phomotic foreskin, but many initial successes recur. A prepucioplasty, or dorsal slit is a surgical alternative which preserves the foreskin.

Question 6

i'm 16 and have balanitis.i also have phimosis from what i have read on the internet.haw can i cure this without circumcision?

Accepted Answer

Yes possible: Foreskin ( opening external meatus ) could be stretched  most od the time see your doctor to help you able to retract foreskin with local anesthesia  , then you may not need circumcision .

Question 7

my friend is suffering from phimosis. but he do not want to try circumcision. so any other method or home remedy for this problem?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can help: A primary care doctor or a urologist can help loosen and stretch the foreskin (and teach a patient how to work on it at home). Corticosteroid creams are sometimes used, and may help. If all that is tried for a while without success, then a patient can ask a urologist what the different surgical options are. There are surgical ways to loosen the foreskin without cutting it off.

Question 8

had a circumcision 6  months ago due to phimosis and i cant say is looking better.i have a ugly scarline that really bothers me.how to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Adult circumcision: A scar is always a part of the circumcision process. A baby circumcision has 12 years to heal before puberty causes growth, which stretches and softens into a "circumcision band". Adult circumcision scars are thin and more abrupt and can take years to soften. My best advice to you is to "own" the scar and wear it proudly like you might wear a tattoo or body mod. You can try Mederma for scar redux.

Question 9

what's the best circumcision style on adults? high and tight? are there any pros to removing frenulum? i have a phimosis.

Accepted Answer

Sleeve resection: Permits surgeon to remove exactly correct amount of skin &amp; is cosmetically the best circumcision. Dividing or removing frenulum prevents tugging on glans during sex &amp; in my opinion is thus is more comfortable than leaving it behind, especially if it's tight.

Question 10

i am 28 years old male virgin. i have been a prone masturbator all my life, also have pinhole phimosis and will get circumcised. will i ever be able to have normal sex with a partner after circumcision if i stop prone masturbation? please help me?

Accepted Answer

: Circumcision will not alter whether or not you have normal sex. That issue is more in your mind than the anatomy. Whether you have self sex or with a partner is not very different, except for the effort involved recruiting and maintaining a partner relationship. The plumbing works the same either way.
