Tight Penile Foreskin(Phimosis) Surgery

Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of the penis becomes too tight to be pulled back over the head (glans) of the penis.

Causes

There are two main types:

• Physiological Phimosis – Common in children; usually resolves naturally with age.
• Pathological Phimosis – Occurs due to conditions like poor hygiene, eczema, psoriasis, or Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO).

Symptoms

• Redness or discoloration (especially if infected)
• Swelling or inflammation
• Pain during erection or sexual activity
• Pain while urinating (dysuria)

Treatment

• Physiological phimosis usually improves with age. If it persists or causes issues, conservative treatment may be tried.
• Pathological phimosis in adults may initially be treated with steroid creams or anaesthetic gels along with gentle stretching.

If conservative methods fail, surgery is the definitive treatment. Options include:

• Laser Circumcision
• Stapler Circumcision
• Conventional Circumcision
  These are typically day-care procedures with minimal recovery time.
