Phimosis Treatment For Adult Males
Filed Under (General) by Admin on 09-12-2009
Phimosis is experienced by many men whereby the foreskin is tight and cannot retract naturally. This is a medical condition and occurs in men that have not undergone circumcision. Phimosis treatment options are readily available.
This is very degrading for men especially as they are unable to perform and function properly when having intercourse due to their loss of sensitivity. Due to the tight foreskin which surrounds the head of the penis men get regular infections in that area.
Five percent of the male population have been shown statistically to suffer from this condition. Phimosis can be treated very effectively and a condition of this nature is not life threatening. Men will experience on occasions a red and swollen foreskin area with a smelly discharge and pain.
Prescribed antibiotics and hot soaks will control the infection as well as loosen the tight foreskin surrounding the glands and when the infection has cleared up the doctor will inevitably suggest a circumcision be done. A circumcision is performed under general anaesthetic and is normally a quick and simple procedure whereby the foreskin is surgically removed. Post operatively one will experience pain and will be very uncomfortable for a few days after the op.
In cases where the Phimosis is minor one can stretch the foreskin by pulling it back tightly over the head of the penis or one can also insert the fingers into the opening and stretch the foreskin by applying an outward pressure.
A procedure which can be done in the doctor’s surgery and where a local anaesthetic is used is called a preputioplasty this type of treatment increases the diameter of the foreskin and no surgery is needed in this case. An application of steroidal creams can be used as an alternative and if you do not want to use a steroid based cream there are creams that are steroid free.
Phimosis treatments are safe and one does not have to worry about any side effects only after a surgical procedure you will suffer with some pain and discomfort. Should the penis be deprived of blood flow you will have to seek emergency medical treatment so that you can prevent any permanent damage occurring.
