About the Disease
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted over the glans of the penis. Causes of the condition may include congenital tightness of the foreskin, injuries, infections, as well as non-compliance with hygiene measures, while symptoms may include pain, itching, swelling, difficulties with urination, and sexual dysfunction.
Treatment Methods for Phimosis
Treatment of phimosis at the Ichilov clinic in Israel may include several methods, which can be described as follows:
Medication Treatment
Medication treatment for phimosis may include the use of creams or ointments containing steroids. These agents help to soften and stretch the foreskin to facilitate its retraction. Additionally, other medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, may be used if phimosis is caused by infection or inflammation.
Foreskin Stretching
Foreskin stretching is one of the most common methods for treating phimosis. It can be performed using special exercises that allow for stretching the foreskin for several minutes each day. This method may require some patience, but in most cases, it yields good results.
Surgical Treatment
Surgical treatment for phimosis involves performing an operation to remove the tight phimosis sheath. Currently, there are several different surgical methods for treating phimosis that may be applied depending on the specifics of each individual case.
- One of the most common methods is circumcision, which involves the removal of a complete ring of skin associated with phimosis. This method is the most radical, but it is also considered one of the most effective. The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and can be done in an outpatient clinic or hospital. The procedure lasts about 30 minutes.
- Another method of surgical treatment for phimosis is the plastic surgery of the phimosis sheath. In this method, the narrow edge of skin causing phimosis is widened and incised, after which the skin is stitched. This operation is less radical than circumcision and can be performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. It is also less traumatic and usually accompanied by a quicker recovery.
Additional Treatment Methods
Additional treatment methods for phimosis may include the use of hot compresses or ice wraps to reduce inflammation. Natural oils or creams may also be tried to soften the foreskin. However, before using any home treatment methods, it is essential to consult a doctor.

Depending on the symptoms of the patient's medical history, types of diagnostic tests may include:
- Ultrasound;
- CT;
- MRI;
- Urine and blood tests;
- Hormone level measurement.
Medical Council
After receiving the results of the diagnostic studies, specialist doctors conduct a medical council, during which the results are discussed and the most effective treatment methods are selected.
