How can phimosis be managed with the help of medication?

Question

Hello doctor,

The skin covering my penis is cracking again after sexual intercourse. My blood sugar level has decreased to 230 mg/dL, and I desire to have sex at least once a week. Can you suggest any medicines to help heal the cracked skin on my penis? It is painful during intercourse with my wife. Kindly help.

Answer 1

Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health care.

I can understand your concern. It will be of great help if you can send me a picture of your cracks. You might be having phimosis or a fungal infection because these two are common causes of cracks. Can you send me a picture of your cracks?

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for your follow-up question on icliniq.

I have gone through the image you have attached (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity). This is phimosis. The best treatment is circumcision surgery. Since you are diabetic, you may experience frequent infections. Do you feel pain while retracting the foreskin? Is there any discharge from the foreskin? Please reply with the answers to the above questions so that I can provide you with better guidance.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
