I've been struggling with phimosis where I can't pull back the skin during an erection. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can help with this? Can it be fixed without needing surgery?

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery
