View allwhat are the best non-surgical treatments for phimosis besides stretching exercises i'm looking for options that don't involve surgery and want to know what actually works
For non-surgical phimosis treatment options beyond stretching, topical steroid creams and balloon dilation are commonly used. Steroid creams, like betamethasone or hydrocortisone, can soften and stretch the foreskin, often combined with stretching exercises.

Good hygiene and addressing any underlying infections are also crucial

It's been 7 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like appearance around the head of my penis. How long until the swelling fully goes down and everything looks normal again? I also have some lingering pain - is that expected? Will that ring shape disappear as it heals?
Swelling and pain are common after circumcision and should subside within 2-3 weeks. The ring-like appearance is normal post-surgery, and it will likely disappear as the healing progresses.

Applying the cream regularly as directed by a doctor, along with gentle stretching exercises, can improve retraction
