How Can Phimosis Be Treated?

Hi, my boyfriend has told me/showed me that he can t pull his foreskin all the way down. I asked him to go more in depth and he said there s a string similar to the string of skin under a person s tongue, that attaches the foreskin to the head. What is the problem?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Phimosis is congenital in nature. It is since birth.
In childhood, it is not much problematic. But in adulthood, it can cause symptoms like difficulty in sexual intercourse, burning micturation, Urinary tract infection etc.
Surgical removal of skin fold is the treatment of choice.
So better to consult surgeon and get done surgery.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.
