Is it safe to have sex if my partner has had phimosis since birth or is surgery the only option to fix it

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, it's generally safe to have sex with phimosis, but it might be uncomfortable or painful depending on the severity. Surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment option, but it's not always necessary. Mild phimosis may not require intervention and can be managed with proper hygiene and gentle stretching.

A short frenulum can sometimes be stretched with exercises or topical creams. If painful, minor surgery (frenuloplasty) is often effective.

I had varicocele surgery two months ago but still have testicle pain. The recent scan shows some veins are still there and it's now grade 1. Do I need another surgery or are there other options to manage this?

It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pain after varicocele surgery, especially with a grade 1 varicocele still present. While some vein persistence is normal, persistent pain warrants further investigation. While repeat surgery could be an option, other conservative measures and interventions should be considered first
