Suggest Remedies For Phimosis

I have an issue with the foreskin on my penis covering the head of my penis and when I pull it back I have a lot redness and soreness around the base of the head of the penis. I am wondering if this because my urine gets trapped there by the foreskin and has caused an infection? I was circumcised when I was around 15 years of age and I am 54 now.

Hello thank you for writing us here.
Circumcision in the treatment of phimosis so it's possibly due to some other infection. Make sure while taking shower you wash the glans properly with soap and water. also some infections spread from sexual intercourse so I would suggest you to use a condom for intercourse. Maintain good hygiene and you'll be fine in 3 or 4 days. need not to worry about it.

God bless you.
best regards,
Dr Gunjan
