Best Doctors for Phimosis Treatment in New Palasia, Indore

Phimosis is described as a penile condition in which it becomes difficult to pull back the foreskin of the penis. Phimosis is categorized into two types such as physiologic phimosis and pathologic phimosis. The significant signs induced by phimosis include red, purple, dark brown, or black discoloration, which occurs due to irritation or any infection, swelling, soreness or pain, pain while urinating, weak urination stream, blood in urine, pain while getting an erection or while having sexual intercourse, and smegma. The causative factors of phimosis include skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus and lichen sclerosus, penile adhesions, or scar tissue, that keep the foreskin attached to the tip of the penis and injuries. Phimosis is treated by taking topical corticosteroid cream or gel, antibiotics for infection and phimosis surgery (circumcision). If left untreated, phimosis may lead to foreskin inflammation, glans inflammation, urinary tract infections, foreskin tears, paraphimosis and poor hygiene.
