Hello Abhay Ji,

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis.

Some signs that might suggest phimosis include:

1. Difficulty or inability to retract the foreskin fully when erect or flaccid.

2. Pain or tightness when attempting to pull back the foreskin.

3. Repeated infections or irritation in the area.

However, if you can retract your foreskin without significant pain or difficulty, you may be fine. Some men naturally have tighter foreskins that don’t cause issues or require treatment.

Hello Rajiv Ji,

Swelling in the penis can be caused by several factors, including infections, allergic reactions, or injuries. Since it started suddenly, it’s best to see a healthcare provider to get it checked and identify the exact cause.

In the meantime, avoid activities that might further irritate the area, and wear loose clothing to minimize discomfort.

Hello Ravi Ji,

Laser circumcision is a minimally invasive procedure with a typically quick recovery time of 1-3 days.

Regarding sexual health, once healed, laser circumcision should not negatively impact sexual function. In fact, some people report improved comfort. However, it’s important to wait until the area has fully healed—usually around 4-6 weeks—before resuming sexual activities.
