Cost of phimosis surgery in India (and alternative)
What is phimosis
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin in adult men is tight and cannot slide over glans (the mushroom shaped hood). See the image below.
Phimosis can be categorized into 4 stages depending upon the visibility of glans or how far the foreskin slides over glans. Look at the images below to see various stages of phimosis.
Phimosis treatment options
There are only 2 ways to cure phimosis
- Surgery (also known as circumcision)
- Using phimosis stretching rings by Vajraang
Surgery (or circumcision)
Circumcision is a method of surgical removal of foreskin. It is a permanent solution to Phimosis but has it’s own fair share of cons.
Reasons why circumcision for phimosis is a terrible idea:
- It is not safe
- Circumcision for phimosis is very costly.
- Circumcision often involves pain and discomfort for 4-8 weeks after surgery.
- You’ll have to deal with complications after surgery. 30% of men report complications after circumcision*, one of which is erectile dysfunction.
- Circumcision is recommended if you ready to sacrifice your sexual pleasure. Circumcised men report lower sexual satisfaction compared to uncircumcised men.
- Circumcision appears to be a quick solution, but you can’t have sex for about 4-8 weeks after circumcision. So it looks like a quick fix but is it really one?
More than 30% of men report reduced sexual satisfaction after getting surgery
