Uncommon Member Problems: How to Handle Phimosis
by John Dugan OwnerMen
who suffer from phimosis might wonder what it will take to overcome the
condition. The good news is that careful male organ care, under a doctor’s
supervision, is likely to solve the problem with time and patience. However,
there are other options as well. Here’s what a man needs to know about this
uncommon member problem.
What is phimosis, anyway?
Phimosis is a condition in which the prepuce of the male organ
cannot retract beyond the head of the manhood. Obviously, this is a condition
found only in intact men. Being unable to retract the prepuce is actually very
common in babies and young children, but as they begin to mature, the prepuce
should eventually move freely over the head of the male organ.
For some men, however, the problem never resolves. Or perhaps it
does, but then suddenly becomes an issue again for no apparent reason.
There are several different types of phimosis:
1) Pathological phimosis is when the ability of the prepuce
to move is reduced by infection, inflammation or scarring. This is the most
unlikely cause, but it does happen to men of any age.
2) Congenital phimosis means that the prepuce has been tight since
birth, and that it didn’t loosen up with time. This isn’t caused by any sort of
medical condition, trauma or the like. Fortunately, this is the easiest to
treat.
3) Common phimosis is usually found in young male children, when
the prepuce adheres to the head of the male organ. This is something a boy
grows out of over time; if he does not, it will become apparent that common
phimosis is actually congenital phimosis.
What’s the treatment for phimosis?
When it comes to treatment of phimosis, there are several ways to
go. In the earliest stages, there is often a ‘wait and see’ approach. During
this time, a man can try numerous types of manual stretching to see if the
problem resolves on its own. This stretching is quite similar to self-fondling,
as a man simply works to move the prepuce up and down, gradually opening it up
a bit more to allow for it to retract. However, in extremely tight cases this
might not work.
Another option is medication. Two tablets that have been tried
with some success include betamethasone and hyaluronidase. When given to young
men in a study, there was a 54% success rate when they were given the
combination, and all patients tolerated the medication very well.
However, the above methods don’t have the best success long-term.
That’s why many doctors look to surgery as the answer. Circumcision is the most
common treatment for phimosis, as it removes the prepuce and immediately
resolves the issue. However, some men will opt for a partial circumcision,
which means that the surgeon makes a series of tiny incisions in the prepuce to
help it open up, but doesn’t remove it entirely.
Keep in mind that surgery is often not recommended when a man is
young, as everyone develops differently and phimosis might go away on its own
as he matures. However, those over the age of 18 might be a candidate for circumcision
if this member problem continues and causes significant discomfort or an
inability to enjoy sensual pleasure.
Those who are trying to use the manual method to stretch the
prepuce might have better luck if they employ a specially formulated manhood
health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is
clinically proven mild and safe for skin) during each attempt. The
right crème will contain Shea butter and vitamin E, which provide ample
hydration to soothe the skin and keep it as pliable as possible, thus possibly
enhancing the work a man does to resolve phimosis through manual stretching.
