A member asked:
My friend is suffering from phimosis. but he do not want to try circumcision. so any other method or home remedy for this problem?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
