My foreskin is too tight to pull back and the doctor said it might be phimosis. Will using a cream help or is surgery the only option?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Topical steroid creams are often the first line of treatment for phimosis, and they can be effective in making the foreskin more pliable and easier to retract. If creams are not sufficient, surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty (a less invasive procedure), may be considered

I have a tight frenulum with a very thin piece of skin attached to the tip of my penis at the bottom. What are the different types of frenuloplasty procedures available and which one is the least painful? Also, what's the approximate cost for this surgery in India? Should I consider getting circumcision done along with this procedure?
Frenuloplasty addresses a tight or short frenulum, the small skin fold connecting the foreskin to the glans. The procedure involves releasing the frenulum to improve retraction and reduce pain during erections. While circumcisicircumcision removes the entire foreskin, frenuloplasty focuses on the frenulum itself, preserving the foreskin

I'm familiar with the Vigora tablet and what it's for, but I've never tried the Vigora jelly. Can you tell me how it works and how I should use it? When's the best time to take it before having sex, and what's the right way to use it?
Vigora jelly is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It contains sildenafil citrate, which helps increase blood flow to the penis. To use it, you can squeeze the contents of one sachet onto a spoon and swallow it approximately 15-30 minutes before sexual activity. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach for best results. The effects can last for up to 4-6 hours. Remember to not take more than one sachet in a 24-hour period.
