Tight foreskin or phimosis is a condition when the male foreskin cannot be full retracted from the head of the penis. The severity of phimosis varies from person to person with some men being able to retract the foreskin partially while in others they are not able to retract at all.
In addition to the severity, phimosis can take a few different forms, including:
- Congenital phimosis – This occurs when the person is born with a tight foreskin and it cures on its own sometime in adolescence.
- Acquired phimosis – If the person was previously able to retract the foreskin but later on are not able to do so, then phimosis is acquired.
How phimosis affects sufferers:
While some have no problems with the condition and lead an ordinary existence, some individuals on the other hand experience:
- Painful erections.
- Embarrassment.
- Pain during intercourse and fear of ripping the foreskin.
- Reduced sensation during intercourse.
- Infections because there is difficulty in cleaning the area.
- Problems when trying to urinate.
Tight Foreskin or Phimosis Cures
There are several cures for tight foreskin with circumcision being the most common recommendation (not a favorite option for most men).
Here is an outline of the available options:
- Preputioplasty. A small incision is made to widen the constricting band of skin and it is a good alternative to circumcision. Since it is not a full circumcision the recovery is less painful and shorter than the time for full circumcision.
- Dorsal slit is a single incision along the upper length of the foreskin from the tip to the corona, exposing the glans without removing any tissue.
- Circumcision. Informed medical professionals recommend this as a last resort.
- Application of topical steroid creams to the narrow part of the foreskin and is effective over time.
- Stretching. Manual stretching of the foreskin is also is good non-invasive option preferred by most men.
