What are the other ways to treat phimosis without surgery and does the surgical option hurt a lot
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract, can be treated without surgery with topical steroid creams and stretching exercises. Surgical options, like circumcision, are also available, and while pain is possible, it's often mild to moderate and manageable with pain relief.
