Phimosis - treatment procedure in Warsaw and Płock
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted from the glans of the penis, or only with difficulty. It can occur in both children and adult men. In many cases, the problem develops gradually and does not cause symptoms for a long time. Over time, however, it can lead to pain, inflammation, and difficulty maintaining proper hygiene.
At OpenMed we provide diagnostics and treatment of phimosis in Warsaw and in Płock.

Phimosis treatment at OpenMed in Warsaw and Płock
The treatment method depends on the severity of the condition.
- In mild cases, conservative treatment is possible, involving the use of topical preparations and proper hygiene.
- In cases of more advanced phimosis, the most effective method is surgical treatment. It involves widening or removing the narrowed segment of the foreskin (e.g. partial or full circumcision).
Phimosis procedure - how does it work?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and usually takes several dozen minutes.
The patient returns home the same day. The healing period usually lasts a few weeks, and the doctor provides detailed recommendations regarding care and return to activity.
The procedure permanently resolves the problem and prevents the recurrence of symptoms.

Phimosis can be congenital or acquired.

Over time, the foreskin becomes narrowed, which makes its proper functioning difficult.
