Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I first experienced a burning sensation while urinating, but after a few days, it went away. However, now I've noticed that my foreskin has become tight and I can't retract it properly. What could be causing this?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Phimosis is a tight foreskin that cannot be fully retracted.

It can be caused by infections, inflammation, or scarring.

Symptoms include pain during urination, swelling, and difficulty retracting the foreskin.

The burning sensation may indicate an infection contributing to phimosis.

Treatment options include steroid creams, antibiotics, or surgery.

It's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Thanks
