Phimosis
Phimosis – effective surgical treatment
Phimosis is a condition that involves the narrowing of the foreskin, which makes it difficult or impossible to slide it freely off the glans penis. This problem can occur in both children and adults, affecting not only hygiene, but also sexual function and the health of the urinary system.
At Optima Clinic, we perform effective and minimally invasive phimosis treatment – most often in the form of a surgical procedure, providing patients with comfort, discretion and a quick return to everyday life.
Indications for phimosis removal surgery
Surgery is recommended in the case of:
- difficulty retracting the foreskin in a flaccid or erect state,
- recurrent inflammation of the foreskin and glans,
- pain or skin tears during intercourse,
- difficult hygiene of intimate areas,
- urination disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does phimosis treatment involve?
The procedure involves surgically widening or completely removing the foreskin. It is performed under local or general anesthesia.
Does the procedure hurt?
No – the patient receives appropriate anesthesia. After the procedure, there may be slight swelling or tenderness, which will subside after a few days.
How long does recovery take?
It usually takes 7-14 days to return to full activity. During this time, you should maintain good hygiene and avoid sexual activity.
