Question

My foreskin won't pull back and it's really uncomfortable is there any way to treat phimosis without surgery? I'm worried about the pain and recovery if I go under the knife. Are there creams or stretches that actually work?

Topical steroid creams, stretching exercises, and non-surgical rings help many mild phimosis cases‚Äîtry these before opting for surgery.
