Question 1

what can i do to loosen my tight foreskin?

Accepted Answer

Careful manipulation: Careful manipulation and creams may help somewhat, but often a visit to a urologist is necessary, and some require circumcision.

Question 2

i don't want to go for circumscision for tight foreskin ..so is there any other minor surgery which can loosen the foreskin rather then removing it?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis: Not really.  A "dorsal slit" would result in what i feel you would consider a  cosmetically unacceptable result.  Circumcision is your best option.

Question 3

can you tell me more about tight foreskin?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis: Makes foreskin retraction ; hygiene difficult or impossible. Unpleasant for sex. Increases risk for std. Increased risk of cancer of cervix in female sex partner due to poor penile hygiene. May respond ro treatment with prescription strength steroid cream, eg Betamethasone or kenalog (triamcinolone). May require circumcision.

Question 4

how can you treat a man with tight foreskin?

Accepted Answer

See below: Betamethasone cream is very effective for treatment of phimosis in children and adults.  It is safe, easy to apply and cost effective.  In most published protocols, it is used twice daily for up to 4 weeks.  Used as instructed, it will cure or significantly improve the problem in over 70% of patients. Observation, circumcision, stretching, surgical incision (slit), etc are also appropriate.

Question 5

i have a tight foreskin. wht should i do to help recover from it?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis : A tight foreskin (phimosis) can become problematic if it is not routinely pulled back over the glans penis (head of the penis). This can lead to a surgical emergency called paraphimosis where the foreskin becomes stuck behind the glans penis and it swells. Phimosis can also be a problem if the foreskin can not be retracted sufficiently for proper cleaning. Circumcision is often the best option.

Question 6

how to remove smega with a tight foreskin?

Accepted Answer

See ur Dr/Urologist: Tight foreskin might be a sign of fungal infection, which may benefit from treatment, or early phimosis, which will need treatment as well (sometimes same). See your dr or a urologist for examination to get treatment to allow proper hygiene.

Question 7

could circumision needed for tight foreskin?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Circumcision certainly required if foreskin is very tight with scarring around foreskin opening or tightness does not respond to twice daily application of prescription strength steroid cream for 6 - 12 weeks. Foreskin must be loose enough to permit easy retraction for necessary hygiene.

Question 8

tight foreskin, should i go to the doctors or just pull?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis: If it won't relax, see your doctor.  You don't want to restrict blood flow which can be catastrophic.

Question 9

what's the difference between a phimosis and simply tight foreskin?

Accepted Answer

See below: Primarily, just semantics. Phimosis and "tight foreskin" are often used interchangeably. Strictly speaking, phimosis is the inability to be able to retract the foreskin behind the head (glans) of the penis whereas "tight foreskin" implies either the inability to retract or difficulty in retracting the foreskin (retractable with difficulty).

Question 10

how can a male deal with tight foreskin? without going for surgery.

Accepted Answer

Phimosis: Premarin (conjugated estrogens) (progesterone) cream can be used to help bring the foreskin back. It will depend on how tight the skin is. Please see your PCP or a urologist for more information based on your exam.
