Suggest Treatment For Phimosis

Hi Doc, I m 23 and I m having phimosis condition. I don t feel any itchiness/pain. But the head is not coming out, only 30% portion is visible if I stretch the max. If i try to touch the head, it s sensitive. Will this cause any serious infection or will it pain during intercourse? my biggest doubt is, WILL IT CAUSE STUNNED GROWTH. because I m 5.5 and I know I didn t grow to my best. Also, please suggest any growth techniques, I wanna grow at least 2 inches. Thanks much

General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
The condition is known as Phimosis which is the inability to retract the foreskin behind the head (glans) of the penis.
Applications of steroid creams have been used to manage phimosis medically.The usual regimen is application of the steroid cream once or twice daily for 4-6 weeks. Studies have shown a success rate of 87% with this treatment. If it does not work you have to go for minor surgery.
It will not cause stunted growth. Little increase in the chances of infection are there.

As these ointments are prescription medicines i can not prescribe without examining you, so i advice you to visit doctor for examination and prescription.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely
I find this answer helpful
