Phimosis Treatment
Phimosis Treatment
Phimosis is characterized by the inability to retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. While mild to moderate phimosis may be manageable through medications and ointments, severe cases usually require surgical procedures such as circumcision While non-surgical options such as steroid creams may give you temporary relief from its phimosis symptoms, surgery is generally considered to be an effective and safe solution to phimosis in adults.
