Phimosis – Causes, Types & Ayurvedic Treatment for Tight Foreskin

 

Phimosis is a problem experienced by males. In this, the foreskin becomes so tight that it is unable to reach back to the head of the penis.

Phimosis is generally noticed among infants and young boys. Moreover, with growing age, it tends to become normal but it becomes a medical issue if it still carries on with age.There are majorly two types of phimosis, Physiological Phimosis and Pathological Phimosis.

Cause of phimosis

• Scarring- Scarring is a result of an injury or any kind of trauma. This leads to the tightening of the foreskin.
• Infections- Sexually transmitted infections or various other genital Infections are responsible for Phimosis. This leads to scarring and inflammation as well.
• Medical Procedures- If any medical procedure involves male genitalia, then it also implies a high risk of scarring which may take the form of phimosis.
• Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans- It is a medical condition in which there is a formation of white patches on the foreskin and the glans too. It can also cause tightening of the foreskin.
• Trauma- Any sort of trauma to the penis or foreskin can also lead to phimosis.
• Recurrent Balanitis- Balanitis is a medical condition which leads to inflammation of the glans. It can further cause swelling which leads to tightening of the foreskin.
