A member asked:
I am a diabetic that has been dealing with phimosis for 4 years now. i want to know if weight loss and sugar control would be a possible solution for this issue?

There is no relationship between diabetes mellitus and phimosis so weight loss and glycemic control are not the solution for phimosis.

I agree with Dr.Le. There are stretching exercises you can try to improve your phimosis, but circumcision is the definitive treatment for phimosis.

many times Diabetics develop recurrent low grade infection /inflammation of the foreskin misdiagnosed/self diagnosed as phimosis(which is in ability to retract foreskin) If this is what is happening control your sugar and if it recurs consider seeing a Urologist and possible circumcision. Good luck
