UR CONCERNS

Phimosis - Phimosis is inability to retract the foreskin covering the head of Penis

SOLUTION:- 3 WAYS ARE THERE IN FRONT OF US

1.SLEF MANIPULATION:- * Self Foreskin Manipulation by Techniques I suggest need few days

2. DOCTOR ASSISTED MANIPULATION * Local Physician assisted Foreskin Manipulation under Anaesthetic Gels Stepwise needs Few days

3.CIRCUMCISION * If No Possibilities of Manual Foreskin Manipulation then Circumcision ( Small Opd based Surgery with minimum invasion no complications) can be considered as Last Option

A ) SELF MANUAL MANIPULATION

METHOD 1) SELF FORESKIN MANIPULATION BY URSELF

a) GENTLE SELF STRETCHING 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 helps 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

b) LUKE WARM FORESKIN IMMERSION * Step 1 :- Apply Castor Oil on Foreskin wait 15 mins allow it to become Smooth * Step 2 :- Keep Foreskin immersed in Luke Warm Water for 5 mins till Becomes loose * Step 3 :- Again Apply Coconut Oil wait 3 mins * Step 4 :- Start Gentle Manipulation.Be Slow * Step 5 :- Retract to limit and Hold it for 20 second then leave . Repeat Again * Step 6 :- Do this consistently daily till complete Retraction.

METHOD 2 : PHIMOSIS RING - Device comes with Rings of Different Size together

* Step 1 :- Clean Penis Area & Allow it to dry * Step 2 :- Choose Phimosis of Appropriate Size not too tight not too loose * Step 3 :- Lubricant Penis By Pure coconut/olive oil Also Lubricate the Ring inside * Step 4 :- Slowly Retract the foreskin as comfortable as possible then slide Ring under Suggested Phimotic band * Step 6:-Wear Ring for 15 -20 mins Initially Gradually increase the time * Step 7:- Once using the ring Becomes loose it will slide easily then choose the next larger than initial Ring * Step 8 :- Push Daily Limits change and increase the sizes of rings

INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW

• Maintain Proper Urogenital Hygiene • Avoid Too Stretching • Avoid Forced Traction • Must Use Lubrication for Manipulation • Use Lukewarm water for immersion not too hot

2 ) TECHNIQUES OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTED FORESKIN MANIPULATION

BALLOON DILATION:

General Physician/ Surgeon/Urologist may use a special device to gently inflate a small balloon under the foreskin, gradually stretching under local anesthesia.It is often used for more severe cases of phimosis.

3 ) CIRCUMCISION PREPUTIOPLASTY If Proper Self Manipulation and Assisted manipulation is not working then go with Circumcision Small Minor OPD Based Operation with Minimal pain and quickly healing Minor Operation doens’t needs admission just OPD Base and Healing Will be in 7 -10 Days only.

If you have any questions u can ask me.U have text option.

For addressing phimosis in an Ayurveda framework, there are indeed some measures that could help without resorting to circumcision. Since you’re not experiencing any issues like UTI or swelling, mild interventions might be effective. Let’s look into some Ayurvedic recommendations.

First, considering topical applications, sometimes, a combination of Ayurvedic oils can aid in gradually easing the tight foreskin. Oils like Shata Dhauta Ghrita, a ghee-based preparation, can be applied gently. This ghee is known for its soothing and skin-softening properties. Apply it regularly after warming the ghee slightly—just enough to comfortably touch the skin—perhaps twice daily.

For oral consumption, herbs like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Ashwagandha might prove beneficial. Gokshura is often used to support male reproductive health, and Ashwagandha to balance stress and encourage healing. These can be taken in powdered form or as capsules, depending on availability and convenience for you. Take about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the powder daily, mixed in warm water or milk.

In terms of lifestyle, fostering a Kapha-balancing routine can be beneficial, even if phimosis is not directly linked to dosha imbalances. This may include regular exercise, ensuring proper hydration, and a diet with warm, digestible foods to maintain good digestive fire (Agni).

Additionally, practicing regular, but gentle, stretching exercises under medical guidance can help with increasing foreskin flexibility over time. Be sure to do this carefully to avoid any tearing or unnecessary pain.

Hydration and personal hygiene are particularly important. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infections that can exacerbate the condition.

It’s crucial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider before starting any treatment to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific constitution and condition. In cases of persistent tightness or complications, seeking professional evaluation is recommended, as conditions vary widely.
