Phimosis during erection may need stretching creams or steroid ointments; surgery only if tightness worsens or pain persists.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my penis length, it's about 15cm. I'm not sure if that's enough for a good sexual life and it's affecting my confidence a little. Should I be worried about this?
A penis length of 15 cm is within the average range, and it's important to remember that sexual satisfaction is influenced by many factors, such as emotional connection, communication, and overall health. Confidence and intimacy are more significant than size, so don't worry; focus on building a healthy relationship and self-confidence.

I've had phimosis since birth and I'm not sure how to treat it. Can you tell me what works better steroid creams or surgery? I live in Bangalore and would like to know the best option for me.
Steroid creams work in early phimosis—if ineffective, surgery is best; consult a dermatologist or urologist in Bangalore.
