Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of the penis cannot be pulled back over the head (glans). While mild phimosis is common in young children, persistent or severe phimosis in older children, adolescents, or adults can cause pain, infections, and difficulty with urination or hygiene.

Circumcision is a safe and definitive treatment for phimosis, providing long-term relief and preventing recurrent problems. Under the care of Dr. Ajinkya Kasekar, circumcision is performed using modern, minimally invasive techniques with excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes.

What Is Phimosis?

Phimosis occurs when the foreskin becomes tight due to:

• Recurrent infections

• Poor hygiene

• Scarring or inflammation

• Diabetes (in adults)

• Forceful retraction of foreskin

• Congenital tight foreskin

If untreated, phimosis can worsen and lead to complications.

Symptoms of Phimosis

• Tight foreskin that cannot be retracted

• Pain or discomfort during urination

• Ballooning of foreskin while passing urine

• Recurrent infections of the foreskin (balanitis)

• Pain during erections

• Redness, swelling, or discharge

• Difficulty maintaining proper hygiene

When Is Circumcision Recommended?

Circumcision is advised when:

• Phimosis is severe or persistent

• Recurrent foreskin infections occur

• Painful erections affect daily life

• Urinary obstruction or ballooning is present

• Conservative treatments fail

• There is risk of complications such as paraphimosis

What Is Circumcision?

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure in which the tight foreskin is removed, exposing the glans permanently.
It provides a permanent solution for phimosis and significantly improves hygiene and comfort.
