Phimosis Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis to detect phimosis is done by the doctor before a treatment option is suggested. The diagnosis involves a thorough questioning by the doctor to learn about injuries, infections and even sexual activity. A physical examination of the penis is also done by the doctor, which involves a visual inspection. A urine analysis test might also be suggested to check for any urinary tract infections, causing phimosis. You can easily avail of doctors consultations and diagnostic tests if you book your circumcision surgery through PharmEasy.
Here are some of the surgical options that can be suggested to you by the doctor:
- Option 1 ยท Doctor Recommended
Circumcision (removal of the foreskin)
ZSR Circumcision This is a modern technique of circumcision done by PharmEasy. The procedure is minimally invasive and a stapler like-device is used to seal the circumcision cut after the removal of the foreskin. It is a fast procedure that does not involve any major incisions and is relatively painless for the patient. There is minimal loss of blood during the surgery.
Laser Circumcision Laser circumcision involves the removal of the foreskin with the help of a precise laser beam instead of traditional surgical tools. The method is very effective for adult males and reduces the chances of post-surgery pain or stitches.
Open Circumcision This is the traditional surgical method of foreskin removal. The skin is removed with an incision and the area is then stitched.
- Option 2
Preputioplasty
This is a surgical method of phimosis treatment, generally done on children. An incision is made on the foreskin and it is pulled back and the wound is stitched.
- Option 3
Frenuloplasty
In this method, a small incision is made on the frenulum (a small tissue connecting the foreskin and the head of the penis). The foreskin is then pulled back and the wound is stitched.
What is Phimosis?
Symptoms of Phimosis
Here are some of the common phimosis symptoms :
Tight foreskin The foreskin is very tight around the head of the penis and is wound very tightly near the tip like a rubberband. This is the most telltale sign of phimosis.
Itchiness Phimosis may cause a lot of itchiness in the affected area especially where the skin tightens the most around the head of the penis.
Redness and swelling The condition often causes redness and swelling in the affected area.
Buildup of fluid Phimosis can also lead to the buildup of white and thick fluid in the affected area.
Pain during urination Another major sign of phimosis is a sensation of pain and burning during urination.
Pain during erection A person can experience pain during the erection of the penis.
Causes of Phimosis
Phimosis only affects uncircumcised males. Here are the most prominent causes of phimosis:
Phimosis during infancy This is normal for male infants to have tightness in the foreskin of their penis, this usually starts to get loose after 2 years and is still attached to the head of the penis till the age of 3. The foreskin detaches naturally between the ages of 3 to 6 but if it does not happen, it can cause discomfort and other symptoms of phimosis.
Urinary tract infections Repeated urinary tract infections in boys or men can lead to the development of this disorder.
Foreskin infections Infections in the foreskin can lead to phimosis.
Rough handling of the foreskin If the foreskin is handled roughly and causes irritation, then it might lead to infections that cause phimosis.
Trauma Trauma like injuries to the foreskin can lead to the development of this disorder.
Skin conditions Skin conditions like eczema (skin becomes itchy and dry) or lichen planus (an itchy rash that spreads across the body) can also be a cause of phimosis.
Phimosis is a condition that affects males. It is a condition where the foreskin (the skin covering the head of the penis) cannot be retracted down. The skin is very tight around the head of the penis and can cause pain when it is tried to be pulled down.
Phimosis is very common in male children under the age of 3 who are uncircumcised (the foreskin not removed). It can occur naturally and makes it difficult to urinate. Phimosis can present its symptoms after the age of 16-17 years in males.
The foreskin of the penis is attached to the head of the penis in children till the age of 3 but it naturally starts to detach. However, if it does not detach, then it can cause problems in urination and also cause pain. This is what is known as phimosis. The easiest method to treat phimosis is through phimosis operation. The procedures are very safe and ensure that the person is not affected by phimosis again.
