How Can Phimosis Be Treated?

Hi Doctor, I am 34 and I have a tight foreskin. 6 months back I had itching on the penis and consulted an Urologist who diagnosed that I have diabetes and said cannot undergo circumcision at that time (which is fine as I didn t want to do). He also mentioned that the is no alternative but circumcision can solve non-retractable foreskin. Now I got my diabetes almost under control and went to seek second opinion whether circumcision can be avoided. To my surprise, this Urologist was and to pull back my foreskin over the head of penis. He noticed that penis head had a lot of smegma (cheesy coloured secretions on solid state). He advised to use Bentovate C cream for one week and come back for followup check. With the confidence I am now able to retract my foreskin in flaccid state but not sure about erect state (didn t try). Am I on the right track? Will I able to fully retract my foreskin even in erect state? Please advise.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have been prescribed betamethasone steroid cream for phimosis

It can be helpful in mild phimosis case

But if phimosis more and tight frenulum present than circumcision is the only treatment modality

In flaccid state phimosis severity can't judge..
Just check whether phimosis present in erection state or not

If diabetes is under control than you can undergone circumcision

Take care

Hope your concern solved

Consult urologist for examination and discuss all these
