Tight Foreskin/ Phimosis

Phimosis is a serious health condition that arises in males when the foreskin of the penis cannot be pulled back or retracted from around the penis tip. A tight foreskin is common for babies. This is not at all a serious problem, as this condition stops by the age of three. Children do not need treatment for this, till it poses a threat to urinating. If this condition persists, the male needs a tight foreskin/ Phimosis treatment in Kerala.

Symptoms of Phimosis

The chief symptom of Phimosis is undoubtedly the inability to pull back the foreskin of the penis. Usually, the foreskin loosens over the passing of years but it can take a longer time for some males. Around the age of puberty, the foreskin becomes loose. Swelling of the foreskin is another symptom of Phimosis.

1. Inability to pull back the foreskin
2. Swelling of the tip of the penis
3. Pain when urinating
4. Itchiness, and odor
5. Redness and swelling
6. A buildup of thick fluid

Causes of Phimosis

Phimosis can occur naturally. But, is unknown, why it occurs on some and not on others. If one forcibly retracts the foreskin, it harms the skin and develops scarring and inflammation, resulting in a permanent difficulty in retracting. Phimosis also results from infection of the foreskin or head of the penis or glans. This inflammation on the glans is called Balanitis.

Less hygiene or uncleanliness can also result in this infection. Lichen Seierosus can also lead to Balantis. It happens from a hormone imbalance of the male. The abnormal immune response also paves the way for the skin condition which in turn affects the glans. The best aid for this condition a male can get is from his home. In childhood, a boy may have inhibition in touching and cleaning his penis. But the parents, through love-baked counseling, must take away this inhibition and instill the confidence and self-indulgence to take and clean his penis. In his adolescence also, he needs to get good sexual knowledge and tips which invariably helps him in handling his penis and its cleanliness.
