Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain

I'm a bit concerned because my penis is about 9.5 cm when erect and the girth isn't much either. It kind of feels like it's below average and I haven't really noticed any growth since puberty. But, my testes seem to be fine in size. I've got enough pubic hair and a good amount of body and chest hair. My sexual urges are normal so I don't think I have a testosterone deficiency. Can you suggest ways to increase my penis size?

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.

I've been wondering about my penis size. It's about 13.5 cm and I'm not sure if that's considered normal or on the smaller side. Is there anything I can do to make it bigger? I'm really curious to know if enlargement is possible.

A penis size of 13.5 cm (about 5.3 inches) is within the average range for adult men. There are no medically proven methods to significantly enlarge the penis. If you have concerns, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional to understand what's normal and to address any underlying issues.
