PHIMOSIS is a condition where the foreskin of the penis cannot be retracted (pulled back) from the head. It can occur in children and adults. When severe, it may cause pain, difficulty cleaning under the foreskin, or problems urinating.
Signs and Symptoms:
1. Tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back.
2. Pain or discomfort during retraction attempts.
3. Redness, swelling, or irritation of the foreskin.
4. Ballooning of the foreskin when urinating.
Possible Complications:
• Recurring infections (balanitis).
• Painful erections.
• Difficulty maintaining hygiene.
Treatment Options:
• Topical Creams: Steroid ointments can help loosen the foreskin.
• Gentle Stretching: Under medical guidance, gradual stretching may improve flexibility.
• Surgery: In some cases, circumcision or less invasive surgical methods may be needed.
If you experience any symptoms or suspect phimosis, early evaluation is crucial. Visit Dr.
Onyango Oluoch for a thorough assessment, diagnosis, and personalized management plan.
