Suggest Remedy For Phimosis

Hi, i have been told that I have Phimosis and need to do circumcision. I have not dont any home remedies before. I have been facing this problem only since last 3 - 4 months. Is there any exercise, ointment or medicine which can be taken as first option? Circumcision can be done if this does not work? Additionally, we are planning to start family. Will Phimosis impact or my wife will get pregnant even if I have Phimosis.

Hello,
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of penis is difficult to retract.
Usually this condition detected at the time of erecting.
There are various causes of phimosis.
Treatment depends on degree of phimosis.
There are two kind of treatment.
1. Non surgical
2. Surgical
In mild degree of phimosis non surgical treatment is done like application of steroid ointment.
In other surgical I. e. Circumcision is done.
Sometimes during retracting the foreskin during erection causes a condition paraphimosis in which the foreskin can't be retracted back to previous condition. It's an emergency situation.
Even if you are having phimosis, your wife can get pregnant if your foreskin doesn't block the passage of semen to come out.
As you have not mentioned the degree of phimosis, I would suggest to consult the surgeon and follow his advices.
Hopes this helps you.
Thank you.
