Diagnosis and Procedure:
Diagnosis:
Diagnosing phimosis typically involves a routine physical examination. Your urologist will inquire about your medical history, symptoms, sexual activity, and any penile injuries. They will also assess the penis for signs of infection, tight foreskin, and related phimosis symptoms.
The urologist initiates treatment by attempting nonsurgical measures to reduce foreskin swelling, such as gentle compression or using a snug bandage. Once swelling subsides, the urologist can usually retract the foreskin. If the foreskin remains stuck, circumcision may be recommended.
Surgery:
Laser treatment stands out as a notably safer and less painful alternative to traditional procedures, making it the preferred option for phimosis treatment. This method is applicable for both adults and infants, ensuring high safety standards. At Afri India Medil in Delhi, laser circumcision surgery takes under 30 minutes and offers a swift recovery period.
