Question 2

I'm 28 and can't retract my foreskin when erect, plus it's painful when I try. Is this phimosis or paraphimosis? Are there non-surgical treatments or should I consider surgery? Is surgery safe at my age or are there side effects I should know about? I'm really concerned about this.

Accepted Answer

It's likely you have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. This can cause pain, especially during erections or attempts to retract the foreskin. Non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or exercises can help, but surgery (circumcision) might be necessary for severe or persistent phimosis. Surgery is generally safe and can be effective at relieving symptoms and preventing complications
