Phimotic Ring

2017-10-20 10:11:31
Hi, I'm 24 years old. I am a medical student myself and request a much more experienced doctor to confirm diagnosis. I assume my problem is a phimotic ring that is constricting or more like not elastic. I am able to retract my foreskin all the way and view the glans. However after full retraction, it hurts a bit (more like soreness). I went for a consult, asked about the double slit procedure, he recommended circumcision. What would be your advice?

Thank you for asking. I can understand the distress you are through. By you description it appears to be a Phemosis. It primarily being a surgical problem, the management is surgical. Circumcision is the definitive treatment. Do not worry. It is not a major procedure. But it will be cured permanently. If left untreated, chances of infection are high.
Next Steps
Do as the doctor has advised

Do not worry. It is safe procedure.
