A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
