What Causes The Foreskin To Close Over The Penis?

The eye at the end of my husbands penis closed. It first happened in 2010, but was given antibiotics. He is a type 1 diabetic, and this year had to undergo intrusive surgery, where they stetched it 6 months ago. He went back for a check up and it is closer than ever, painful for 12mm. NHS are refering him back to the surgen, but have concerns over the speed it has started to close. Any advice is appreciated.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Your husband should undergo a circumcision for a permanent solution.
His condition is called phimosis.
Circumcision is a minor surgery that will relieve him from all his symptoms.
He should maintain good penile hygiene.
Stretching the tip of the penile skin or antibiotics,will solve his problems.
If you've any other doubts,send it as a direct question to me.
