My brother has phimosis and can't pull his foreskin back. He only noticed this recently but doesn't have issues with erections or peeing. However, he's been experiencing premature ejaculation during masturbation. Is this because of phimosis? What are the treatment options, and can surgery be done at his age? His wedding is in August would recovery be possible by then? Need advice as soon as possible.

I have phimosis and I'm not sure if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medicines. If medicines can help, could you let me know which ones might work? Also, how do I know if I need surgery for this?

circumcision is advised.
