Suggest Treatment For Phimosis
Question: The foreskin of my penis is sticking and doesn't move backward at all. I cannot see the gland since a year or so. What is the reason and how can it be treated?
Brief Answer:
Phimosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for asking HealthCareMagic.
I have gone through your question and i understand your concern.
When the foreskin does not go back and you can not see the glans means that you have what we call phimosis. It is caused by an infection( lead to inflammation), trauma , that make scars in the foreskin so it can not move back.
The treatment consist of :
-Using steroids cream (0.05% bethamethasone) twice/day for 4-6 weeks .
-If the steroids are not effective , the second choice is surgery(circumcision).
You need to go to a local doctor so he / she can examine you and will explain you more.
Hope, I have answered your question.Let me know if you have any further questions.
