Doctors’ responses

Namaste I Understand that this must be a source of significant physical discomfort and emotional stress, and I appreciate your current in seeking guidance with sincerity and honesty. You described that your 29 year old, and I have a tight foreskin which allows partial retraction only with warm water, revealing the head of the penis up to certain point-but then a tight, rubber band like structure prevents further moment. What you’re describing is most likely a case of pathological phimosis or fibrotic phimosis According to Ayurveda, the reproductive organs or governed by shukra vaha stoats - the subtle channels that manage reproductive health, tissue, nutrition, and overall vitality, any obstruction or stiffness in this channel is often the result of dosha imbalance, particularly kapha and vata . In your case, the tightness restriction and fibrous ring indicate a long-standing dominance of KAPHA dosha -which brings about thickness, rigidity, and stagnation in tissues. Alongside this , vata dosha can contribute to dryness tightness and pain When kapha is aggravated over a long period in a localised area-such as the foreskin- it can cause mama dhatu sthirata (rigid muscle/ tissue tone) and snayu granthi ( fibrotic or hardened bands in muscular tissue or ligaments) This is exactly what we seen in phimosis, a non -elastic, thick ring of skin that is no longer functioning as it naturally should Ayurveda always promotes the idea of swasthasya swasthya rakshanam ( preserving health) and aturasya Vijaya prashamanam ( eliminating disease) In this context, preserving health involves not only treating disorders gently, but also knowing when nonvirtual treatments are no longer sufficient, there is an ancient Ayurvedic concept called Anupama sthiti, which means a condition where natural or medicinal methods, no longer yield effective outcomes and surgical corrections becomes the only viable path In your case, this appears to be one of those situations Since the Tightness is not due to temporary inflammation or mild skin rigidity-but rather a chronic structural change in the tissue-there is a very little likelihood that oils, massages or herbal therapy will help in resolving the issues completely Even if there is a slight improvement, it will be temporary and insufficient to restore full function, more importantly, this level of tightness poses ongoing this such as Micro tears or pain during sexual activity or erections Recurrent infections Difficulty in cleaning the area properly Reduced confidence or anxiety in intimate situations Because of these complications and nature of the fibrosis, I recommend with full honesty and experience that you go ahead with surgery called as circumcision This is a minor routine procedure that permanently remove the fibrotic foreskin release the tension and tightness and restore comfort, cleanliness and confidence It is typically performed under local anaesthesia and recovery is fast. Most men return to normal activities within a few days and full healing happens in few weeks. Ayurveda, honest nature, but also deeply respect the role of surgical science, which was established by an Ayurvedic masters like acharya sushrutha , the father of surgery According to Sushruta, when structural deformity impaired the normal function of the body and do not respond to medicinal measures. Surgical intervention is the most right and practical path So you do not need to live in discomfort or wait any longer Circumcision is safe, effective and final It will not only resolve the physical tightness, but also eliminate the worry and doubt you have been carrying around this condition If you decide to go for procedure, then ensure it is done by a qualified surgeon unfollow, post-operative hygiene, and Care instructions properly. You will likely feel a sense of physical relief and emotional freedom afterwards, that you may not have realised was missing. Wishing you strength, clarity and full recovery ahead

HELLO BHARGAV, I understand your concern, it sounds like mild to moderate phimosis- when the foreskin is too tight to fully pull back over the head of penis. that rubber band ring you mentioned is likely the tight part of foreskin

now for mild to moderate case, surgery is not the first step- try some natural remedies

1) GENTLE STRETCHING- do this daily after warm water bath gentle pull the foreskin back as far as it goes without pain- hold for 30 sec to 1 min - repeat few times be consistent do this for 4 to 8 weeks to see difference 2) SHATDHAUTA GHRITA OR JATYADI TAILA- apply on foreskin area gentle massage it 2-5 min it helps soften the skin and promote healing if not this then cow ghee or coconut oil is also best option 3) warm water soaking - sit in lukewarm water for 10 min daily-add neem leaves in it after soaking try gentle stretching 4)also can apply paste of manjistha churna+ lodra churna+ daruharidra with few drops of water or ghee apply at only tight ring outside only- leave for 10 min and wash off

internally take gandhak Ramayana- 1 tab twice daily after meals- 21 days triphala guggulu - 1 tab twice daily after food drink plenty of water avoid masturbation

if after 4-6 weeks of following this, there is no change, or if you feel pain, infection signs are then, then do not delay so to urologist might suggest circumcision or preputioplasty

thank you hope this might be helpful

Hello Bhargav

" NO NEED TO WORRY "

" I will help u to get recover in Phimosis condition Best Possible way "

UR CONCERNS

U have tight foreskin when u pull your foreskin with Luke warm water you see the head of penis but see the rubber band type structure beyond which I can’t stretch more

MY ASSESSMENT

This suggests U have Mild to Moderate type of Phimosis Also it’s showing signs of Infections

SOLUTION:- 3 WAYS ARE THERE IN FRONT OF US

1.Self Foreskin Manipulation by Techniques I suggest need few days 2.Local Physician assisted Foreskin Manipulation under Anaesthetic Gels Stepwise needs Few days 3.If No Possibilities of Manual Foreskin Manipulation then Circumcision ( Small Opd based Surgery with minimum invasion no complications) can be considered as Last Option

1) TECHNIQUES OF SELF FORESKIN MANIPULATION BY URSELF

1.Gentle Self Streching Method

Step 1 - Warm water loosens the foreskin and retracting the foreskin becomes easier.

Step 2 - Apply Castor Oil / Olive Oil over Foreskin The thick and viscous nature of castor oil nourishes the foreskin and aids easier retraction.

Step 3 - Start Gentle Push Back try and gently pull back the foreskin to bring it to the original position Pull back to pain limit Hold it for 30 sec to 1 Mins and leave.Again Start this procedure.Do at least 2 Sitting per day in different time.Follow this for few weeks u will see improvement

LUKE WARM FORESKIN IMMERSION Keep Foreskin immersed in Luke Warm Water for 5 mins so Becomes loose and easily get Manipulated

INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW

• Maintain Proper Urogenital Hygiene • Avoid Too Stretching • Avoid Forced Traction • Must Use Lubrication for Manipulation

2 ) TECHNIQUES OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTED FORESKIN MANIPULATION

BALLOON DILATION: A doctor or urologist may use a special device to gently inflate a small balloon under the foreskin, gradually stretching it. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is often used for more severe cases of phimosis.

3 ) CIRCUMCISION PREPUTIOPLASTY Small Minor OPD Based Operation with Minimal pain and quickly healing

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT TO AVOID SECONDARY INFECTION

• Tab.Triphala Guggulu Dhootapapeshwar Phrama 2 -0-2 After Food • Tab.Gandhak Rasayan ( Dhootapapeshwar Pharma) 2 -0-2 After Food • Himalaya Antiseptic Cream ( Himalaya Pharma) For Local Application

REGARDS

It sounds like you might be experiencing phimosis, a condition where the foreskin becomes too tight to be easily pulled back over the glans (head of the penis). In Ayurveda, phimosis can be linked to imbalances in the doshas, perhaps particularly Vata, which can affect the elasticity of tissues. Here are some Ayurvedic recommendations that could help, though it’s important to also consider consulting with a healthcare professional for a more comprehensive evaluation.

Firstly, incorporating Ayurvedic oils may aid in improving elasticity. You can try massaging the foreskin gently with sesame oil, known for its warming and moisturizing properties, that can calm the Vata dosha. Apply a few drops to the area twice daily, preferably after a warm bath when the skin is more supple. Take care to massage very gently to avoid any tearing or irritation.

Herbs also offer benefits. Ashwagandha, for instance, is revered for balancing Vata and supporting tissue health. It’s recommended to take it as a supplement – you might take powdered Ashwagandha (about 1 teaspoon) with warm milk before bedtime. Drinking good amounts of warm water throughout the day keeps the tissues hydrated, aiding flexibility.

Furthermore, maintaining a balanced diet can support skin health and overall wellness. Favor warm, oily, and nourishing foods to balance Vata. Include ghee and turmeric – both are anti-inflammatory and can support healing processes internally. Also, avoid excessive caffeine or dry, cold food items that may aggravate Vata.

Gentle stretching exercises are sometimes recommended, but should be approached with caution – it’s essential to avoid force or cause pain. If there is no improvement through these natural measures within a few weeks, or if you experience pain or other symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider for a more conventional evaluation would be wise, as surgical intervention can sometimes be necessary for relief. Always prioritize comfort, safety, and professional guidance where needed.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Meenakshi
I am currently working as an Associate Professor and Ayurvedic Consultant at a pretty well-known Ayurvedic college here in Karnataka. This mix of teaching and clinical practice kinda keeps both sides of me alive—like, one foot always in the Shastra and the other in actual patient care. I guess that’s what I like about it... I get to teach budding Vaidyas from texts like Charaka n all, but also sit with real patients facing chronic issues that don’t come with textbook clarity. In the classroom, I guide both UG and PG students—helping them actually *get* the link between Ayurvedic theory and practical work. Sometimes we’re deep into shloka discussions, other days we’re talking about how to handle a tricky IBS case or PCOD patient during rounds. I’m also pretty involved in research and department stuff—like case presentations, lit reviews, workshops, that sorta thing. It keeps the learning loop going, for me too tbh. On the clinical side, I usually deal with chronic lifestyle disorders, MSK problems, digestive stuff like Grahani and Amlapitta, female health issues, even some skin cases—each one needing its own pace, its own kind of attention. My consults start with a full read of a person’s Prakriti and Vikriti—without that, no use jumping to meds or therapy. I like building long-term plans with people—not just give herbs and send them off. Detox (Panchakarma), Rasayana, Dinacharya tweaks, food habits—it’s all part of it. I do believe education and prevention matter more than ppl think. Like—if someone actually *understands* their imbalance, they’re likelier to stick with care instead of looking for shortcuts. I also team up with fellow docs n students for collabs, paper reviews, sometimes just to debate the classics vs clinical questions. That exchange helps, makes me feel like I'm contributing back to Ayurveda, not just practicing it.
