Can Ayurvedic medicine and gentle massage aid foreskin retraction?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

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.
