I'm 29 and my foreskin is still attached to the head of my penis. I really don't want surgery are there any other ways to fix this? I'm getting married soon and worried it might cause problems in my sex life. Can you suggest the best doctor in Bangalore who can help with this?

It sounds like you're dealing with phimosis, where the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis. While surgery, like circumcision, is a common solution, there are non-surgical options you can explore. Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises, sometimes combined, can help loosen the foreskin, and there are also home remedies like using coconut oil for lubrication during stretching. If you'd like to explore these options, consult with a urologist or a general surgeon specializing in men's health in Bangalore
