Phimosis – Stork Hospital, Hyderabad
Gentle and Effective Treatment for Tight Foreskin
Discreet, patient-centered care for phimosis, offering both conservative and surgical options to restore genital health.
Phimosis occurs when the foreskin cannot be pulled back over the glans (head) of the penis. While it is common in infants and young boys — and usually improves naturally with age — in teenagers and adults it can cause pain, difficulty passing urine, infections, or discomfort during sexual activity. Persistent phimosis can also lead to repeated inflammation such as balanitis or balanoposthitis if left untreated. At Stork Multispecialty Hospital, Hyderabad, we provide discreet, patient-centered care for phimosis, offering both conservative and surgical treatment options to restore comfort and protect long-term genital health.
