I have phimosis and really don't want to get surgery or a circumcision are there any other treatment options that could help me without going under the knife?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams to reduce inflammation and improve foreskin elasticity, manual stretching exercises to gradually loosen the foreskin, and, if an infection is present, antibiotics or antifungal creams

View allIs hydrocele surgery the only way to fix it or are there other treatments I can try first
While surgery (hydrocelectomy) is often the primary treatment for hydrocele, particularly in adults or for persistent hydroceles, it's not always the first step. In some cases, hydroceles may resolve on their own, especially in infants. Non-surgical options like aspiration and sclerotherapy, or simply monitoring the hydrocele, may be considered before surgery.

I'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?
To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
