phimosis What can I do if my foreskin feels tight?

A tight foreskin is no joke. It can be a painful and debilitating condition. The medical term for a tight foreskin is “Phimosis”.

Men have tightness of the foreskin to varying degrees. At its worst it can be so painful to retract the foreskin that sex is almost impossible. It can also make cleaning the glans (head of the penis) very difficult, leading to hygiene issues.
Many men are reluctant to seek help when they have a tight foreskin. They are too embarrassed to go to their Doctor or the Urologist. However, there is no need to feel embarrassed about Phimosis, because it can be treated.

In many cases the Urologist may suggest a circumcision to remove the foreskin of the penis. This will make an immediate and lasting improvement to the condition of Phimosis. A circumcision is a very straightforward procedure which can be performed under general or local anaesthetic. The procedure takes under one hour and you can go home on the same day. After this surgery you may feel a little sore for a short while, but most patients make a successful and fast recovery.

As for the tightness of the foreskin this is then a thing of the past. Men often prefer to have the foreskin of their penis removed as to them it feels more hygienic, and there are lots of women who also prefer their men to be circumcised.

The decision to undergo a circumcision or not is often not a choice for men with a tight foreskin. They are in pain and something has to be done. Thankfully, the solution for Phimosis is simple and straightforward and the results are excellent.
