Best Phimosis treatment in Chandigarh

Most uncircumcised baby boys have a foreskin that will not pull back (retract) because it's still attached to the glans. This is perfectly normal for about the first 2 to 6 years. By around the age of 2, the foreskin should start to separate naturally from the glans.

The foreskin of some boys can take longer to separate, but this does not mean there's a problem – it'll just detach at a later stage.

"Never try to force your child's foreskin back before it's ready because it may be painful and damage the foreskin."

Phimosis is not usually a problem unless it causes symptoms such as redness, soreness, or swelling.

If your child's glans is sore and inflamed, they may have Balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis).

There may also be a thick discharge underneath the foreskin. If both the glans and foreskin are inflamed, it's known as balanoposthitis.

You should visit a Urologist if your child is having such symptoms.

Most cases of balanitis can be easily managed using a combination of good hygiene, creams or ointments, and avoiding substances that irritate the penis.

It's important to clean your penis regularly to avoid problems developing.

Tips to maintain Penis hygiene:

• Gently wash your penis with warm water each day while having a bath or shower
• Gently pull back your foreskin (if you have one) and wash underneath; do not pull back the foreskin of a baby or young boy because it could be painful and cause harm
• Use a mild or non-perfumed soap (if you choose to use soap) to reduce the risk of skin irritation
• Avoid using talc and deodorants on your penis as they may cause irritation

Circumcised men should also regularly clean their penis with warm water and a bar of mild soap (if you choose to use soap).
