Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old male. I have a tight foreskin. When my penis is erect, I cannot pull the skin down completely, but when it is flaccid, it can be pulled down all the way. Sometimes, I can, but not always. I went to the doctor, and he said it was all in my mindset. He tried to retract the foreskin, and it worked when it was not erect. He suggested that I try it myself; however, I find it a bit challenging. Is it possible for it to become easier, and are there any solutions? Please help

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. If your doctor, after a clinical examination, determined that your foreskin is normal and not tight, then it should be fine because clinical examinations are more reliable than self-examination. However, if you still find it challenging, you can follow this Ayurvedic treatment for one month: Take Ksheerabala oil and gently massage your penile region for five to 10 minutes daily in the morning. Afterward, take a bath with lukewarm water after half an hour. Do this regularly for one month. Please consult me after one month to discuss any improvements.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further questions, you can consult me at icliniq. Thank you.

Regarding follow up

After one month.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
