Hi,

What kind of treatment you have been taking for this,if you have already tried medical treatment and it has failed then surgery remains the option of choice.
Are you having any infection over penis repeatedly ?
Are you a diabetic ?
Medical treatment includes topical creams, steroidal and non steroidal, applied to the prepuce.
Gradual stretching of the opening of the prepuce to widen it.
Surgery like circumcision is preformed,after inflammation clears off.
There are more options also to surgeries.
Please mention about treatment what all you have taken

Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago

Sir, I have not taken any treatment yet, actually before 2-3 years it was opening but a little bit problem only but now from last 2 years problem has become more critical. I am not diabetic and dont have any infection. I tried many times of Gradual stretching for the opening but it's not working. please suggest me, i dont want to have any sugery. Should I meet you directly??

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago

Hi,

If you have not tried the medical treatment,then first you should try medical treatment first,application of topical steroid cream, such as betamethasone, for 4â€“6 weeks to the narrow part of the foreskin.
Betamethasone cream 0.05% should be applied to the exterior and interior of the tip of the foreskin 2-3 times daily,but if it does not work even after 4 weeks then consult a genral surgeon.
You can directly also meet a genral surgeon or any doctor near your house.
Keep doing the gradual stretching along with medical management and you will be fine,and pay attention to your cleanliness of perineal area so that you don't get repeated infection on your penis because that will worsen the situation.

Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago

Sir but if it will not work then should I prefer surgery. Is this type of surgeries are normal or it will have some side effects.please suggest is the surgery will be the best or it will affect my future marriage life.

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago

Hi,

Medical treatment is good enough for 70-80 percent of people and they work good,and if it does not work then yes there are surgical treatments which are absolutely normal and they basically don't have side effects but then it depends from person to person and they are fine for your future married life don't worry.

Doctor's Answer

Hi! The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative. A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abor ...

Hello, I have had a nail fungus for a good ten years or so. When I first noticed it, I went to my doctor and he game me lamasil which I stopped taking after a few days since it had negative affects on me. Thereafter, I stopped taking care of it and just let it go for a good 7 or 8 years. I eventually grew up and started getting very self conscious of how it looked and wanted to wear sandals and flip flops and not have people think nasty things about me. A few years ago I went to my doctor again and he gave me a topical oil which I used for over a year and did not see any results. About two years ago, I noticed that a vertical brown line was starting to grow from the bottom up. I went to a dermatologist who took a sample of my nail but did not take a sample of the nail bed or from the cuticle. Biopsy came back as of course it being a fungus. He in turn gave me pills to take which I also had to stop taking since it was having a bad affect on my liver. After that, my dermatologist said that he would give me laser treatments which I did two of. They did not clear it but it looks a little bit better then what it was before. Still thick, yellow, crumbling below the nail, nail bed where new nail is growing is darker then the others and the brown line is still there. It is a thick brown line. How did I get this brown line? Did I get it because of the prolonged damage of the nail bed due to the years of having the nail fungus?

Doctor's Answer

You're most welcome. Nail Melanoma does not affect multiple nails together while Longitudunal Melanonychia (LM) often does. The fact that an additional nail is showing changes is nearly conclusive that this is LM, which as I said is harmless. However it would be best to see your doctor to get this confirmed since I cannot see the affected area. I would recommend getting the entire nail removed if its the only one affected by fungus, but this will be solely to treat the fungus not because I thin ...

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Pain during sex can have many causes and phimosis is one among those. But if you have phimosis then I think it is noticeable. You will notice a swelling while you are urinating at your prepuce,later on it might go on to become red and you may also have pus through your urinary meatus. Ppainful sex can also be due to - Peyronie's disease - Prostatitis - Urinary tract infection - Yeast infection - Dermatitis - Herpes - Psoriasis - Phimosis - Paraphimosis Since how long you are expe ...

Hi, The foreskin on my penis is quite tight and I am not able to retract that easily. I am in a planning for marriage in next 2 - 3 months. So any resolution for the above problem? I have checked for options and came to know that Circumcision can be an option but worried about the process of removal of complete foreskin. I personally feel that foreskin is a very sensitive part of penis comprised of vital sex nerves, which helps to release sensual felling during masturbation/sexual activity but as the part of process to circumcision surgery, the foreskin need to be cut away so, worried that, without foreskin how I can get sexual sensation in future or during foreplay? How penis reacts after removal of foreskin for sexual activities? Is it true circumcision surgery really reduces some level sexual sensitivity from penis? Please help me on above queries. Thanks, Bikram

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Usually tight fore skin indicates that you either had phimosis or infection or scarring of your fore skin,which has to be removed now. It is a controversial topic and there is no confirmatory study,however all the studies done till now have indicated that sensation don't reduce or make no difference and that is what I have noticed too. Your sensation will be provided to you by your glans now,and sexual sensation should not reduce and there is confirmatory evidence on this that circumcisio ...
