Urology
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin of the penis is too tight to be retracted over the glans, causing discomfort, difficulty urinating, and pain during erections. This condition can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Treatment options for phimosis include topical steroids, stretching exercises, and circumcision, depending on the severity of the condition. Seeking advice from a healthcare professional is crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options. Dr. Jayanth Reddy, an expert urologist at My Health Hospital in Kukatpally, Hyderabad, offers personalized care for phimosis and other urological conditions.
If you are unable to retract your penile foreskin back freely, there are various reasons for this to develop, which include -
Poor Hygiene – Improper cleaning of genital and penile area may often lead to phimosis and prone to infections.
Infections – including Sexually tramistted infections(STI).
Preputial Adhesions or Scar Tissue - may keep the foreskin attached to the tip (glans) of your penis.
Skin Diseases – like eczema , psoriasis or lichen sclerosis (balanitis xerotic obliterans -BXO) can affect your Penis.
Phsyical Examination - Urologist will diagnose phimosis and the causes related to it by a complete physical examination of the penis and genitalia.
In addition, urologist might order some related tests to find out if there is any urinary tract infection (Complete Urine Examination) and if there is any discharge from the penis then tests to rule out sexually transmitted infections(STI).
Laser Circumcision - A laser circumcision operation is a way of permanently removing the foreskin from the penis with LASER with no postsurgical complications. This surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia annd patient is discharged on same day.
Stapler Circumcision – In stapler circumcision , instead of LASER fiber , a specially designed stapler device is used to cut the foreskin and staple the edges of the foreskin together instead of sutures . This method has proven effective with faster recovery and almost no surgical site complications.
Circumcision is a medical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin, which is the fold of skin covering the tip of the penis. This surgery is often performed for medical, cultural, or personal reasons, and it can address conditions such as phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be easily retracted.. One common reason for circumcision is phimosis, a condition where the foreskin cannot be retracted fully over the head of the penis. In Hyderabad, there are medical centers that specialize in performing phimosis surgery and ZSR circumcision surgery.
ZSR Circumcision Surgery is an advanced technique that involves minimal discomfort and a quicker recovery time. It is considered to be more precise and offers better cosmetic results compared to traditional circumcision methods. This technique is often preferred by both adults and children undergoing circumcision for medical or personal reasons.
The cost of circumcision surgery can vary depending on the type of procedure and the clinic where it's performed. Generally, factors like the surgeon's expertise, the hospital's reputation, and the complexity of the surgery will influence the price. For those seeking foreskin removal or phimosis surgery, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to understand the options, potential risks, and post-surgery care required.
Overall, ZSR circumcision surgery in Hyderabad is a safe and effective solution for individuals dealing with phimosis or those who choose circumcision for health or personal reasons. It is essential to ensure proper consultation and follow-up care after the procedure to ensure the best possible outcome.
Depending on the type of the surgery, most men are recommended to avoid sexual activity for at least 6 weeks as any sexual activity before that can cause complications with wound healing and increase the chances of contracting STIs.
If you have a desk job, you can return to work within 2-3 days of the surgery, however, if your work entails physical labor, you may need to wait about a week or so before returning to work.
The most common signs of infection after circumcision surgery include the presence of discharge and pus (cloudy, yellowish/white, foul-smelling fluid), hot skin, and/or spreading redness around the wound site.
It depends on the circumcision technique. For laser and stapler circumcision, you will only be hospitalized for 3-4 hours and can go home on the same day but for open circumcision, 1-day hospitalization may be required.
No, barring any complications, you will not be catheterized after the surgery, since circumcision does not affect kidney function at all.
Frenuloplasty surgery can help relieve tightness of foreskin without the need to remove the foreskin but laser circumcision is more effective because the healing is faster and easier and the patient can resume their daily activities within 2-3 days.
