Suggest Treatment For Phimosis

default
Posted on Sat, 9 Aug 2014
Question: Hi,
I'm manually able to pull back the foreskin of the pennies. I feel no pain or issues. But when it gets erection, a ring appearance forms near the head and the skin in that part is not expanding in erection . It causes pain and discomfort during erection. I believe it is the tip of the foreskin. What is the best way to treat this?

Thank you. Can you pls let me know whether there are any side effects? And how long should I wait to have intercourse after the procedure? I have heard about stretching exercise. Will it be helpful?
