I'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with phimosis and a really tight foreskin. Is there any way to treat this without having to go through surgery? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible

Yes, there are non-surgical ways to treat phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises can often be effective, especially in less severe cases.
