    From what age can Phimostop be used?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
    We recommend the use of Phimostop from age 13 and up. Here\u2019s why: in most children there is a physiological adherence between glans and foreskin at birth, which resolves spontaneously as they grow.<\/span>\r\n\r\nForeskin shrinkage is therefore to be considered normal in the first years of life. It is present in 96% of cases at birth, in 80% of infants at 6 months of age, and in 10% of children at 5 years of age. Only after this age (5 years) is it correct to speak of congenital phimosis.<\/span>\r\n\r\nUncovering of the glans occurs progressively during childhood and should be complete by the end of puberty. At age 13, only 2-4% of men still have phimosis.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThere is no reason to accelerate this process unless complications occur and attempts at glans uncovering should not be performed under any circumstances because it could cause secondary phimosis.<\/span>\r\n\r\nPediatric phimosis is of medical concern only when it is secondary or associated with complications:<\/span>\r\n\r\nDifficult or painful urination<\/span>\r\n\r\nPreputial “ballooning” during urination<\/span>\r\n\r\nBalanitis<\/span>\r\n\r\nRecurrent urinary infections<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor these medical reasons we suggest the use of Phimostop only from age 13 and up.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Postponing resolution of phimosis can have unpleasant consequences, from the buildup of infection to the sudden worsening of the situation to the need for urgent intervention in the case of paraphimosis. The earlier action is taken, the greater the chance of avoiding circumcision surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Do you have a trusted doctor I can talk to?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to talk to a doctor we know, but you can talk to any specialist to verify that you have phimosis or to ask for a consultation<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Phimostop is a permanent solution, relapsing phimosis is extremely rare; to make sure you don’t have any problems however, you can wear the last tuboid you used for 2 to 3 nights after the end of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    If you do not act in time and choose to procrastinate and postpone solving this troublesome problem, it is very likely that you may face circumcision surgery as a last resort to solve the phimosis problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    In case of hypersensitive glans?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    If you have tight phimosis, it is normal for you to have very sensitive glans. The foreskin cannot uncover the glans, and the glans skin does not contact any external surface. This prevents the skin of the glans from keratinizing, and so you have far too much sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In this case, a mild anesthetic cream can be used along with Phimostop. As it becomes possible to uncover the glans, the hypersensitivity will go away and you can stop using the cream.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Does it work all the time? Can it be used against all types of Phimosis?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Phimostop works with every type of phimosis (congenital and acquired).<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the vast majority of cases, phimosis can be permanently eliminated. Even in complex cases of congenital tight phimosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

    There are rare cases in which the expected result is not achieved. This happens if there is transient accessory disease (inflammation that has not yet resolved) or disease that compromises the entire foreskin (lichen sclerosus). In these cases, before using Phimostop it is necessary to treat the inflammation according to the instructions of the treating physician.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    In case of short or abundant\/exuberant foreskin?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The foreskin, even a healthy one, can be naturally short (does not completely cover the glans), normal (covers the glans in a rest state and begins to uncover it in an erect state), abundant (covers the glans even in an erect state until it is brought down voluntarily or naturally during intercourse).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Consequently, a normal or abundant foreskin may be brought up to the fins; a scarce one up to the middle of the tuboid. The regressive effect of phimosis is achieved in both cases as long as the phimotic scar ring is made to rise up around the tuboid and not left down, out of the dilating action of Phimostop.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It is important to take care that the inner wall of the foreskin around the tuboid is also raised and not just the outer wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Phimostop is designed exclusively for the treatment of phimosis. In the presence of phimosis and short frenulum, you can use the product to treat phimosis. After treatment, it will be possible to work on the short frenulum following your doctor’s instructions. Phimostop does not treat short frenulum.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Phimostop is the only medical device officially registered with the Italian Ministry of Health as a possible alternative to circumcision surgery in cases of phimosis and whose efficacy is confirmed by clinical research conducted at the Policlinico of Tor Vergata University in Rome and published in the international journal “<\/span>Translational Urology and Andrology<\/span><\/i>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The product in its design is unique and protected by a European patent. The selected material undergoes rigorous international testing. The entire design and production takes place in Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Any other products on the market cannot boast the same characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Phimostop is:<\/span><\/p>\n

    the only medical device registered with the Ministry of Health to treat phimosis while avoiding circumcision;<\/span><\/p>\n

    a medical device that can be sold in pharmacies without a prescription;<\/span><\/p>\n

    an European patent;<\/span><\/p>\n

    designed and manufactured entirely in Italy; on the market for more than 10 years;<\/span><\/p>\n

    the subject of clinical study at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Every man has his own healing time. With a little patience and following the instructions well, healing is possible even with very tight phimosis. We are always available to give maximum assistance. Phimostop is based on the theory of skin dilation when subjected to constant pressure over time. It is a mechanical principle, not a “potion” or \u201cmagic\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The effectiveness of the product depends on how it is used. The product is applicable for all types of phimosis. Its effectiveness may be reduced in cases of Lichen Sclerosus. In fact, Lichen Sclerosus makes the skin of the foreskin “dry” and does not allow it to heal completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Once the treatment is over, once the foreskin is free, you can return to having sexual intercourse as before the onset of phimosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the presence of phimosis, the use of condoms in sexual intercourse is suggested to avoid forcing the phimotic ring and worsening the situation. During the use of Phimostop it is possible to remove the tuboid and then put it on again after intercourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The foreskin, even a healthy one, can be naturally short (does not completely cover the glans), normal (covers the glans in a resting state and begins to uncover it in an erect state), abundant (covers the glans even in an erect state until it is brought down voluntarily or naturally during intercourse).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Consequently, a normal or abundant foreskin may be brought up to the fins; a scarce one up to the middle of the tuboid. The regressive effect of phimosis is achieved in both cases as long as the phimotic scar ring is made to rise up around the tuboid and not left down, out of the dilating action of Phimostop.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Therefore, it is important to take care that the inner wall of the foreskin around the tuboid is raised too and not just the outer wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    It is not necessary to remove the tuboid. The tuboid is designed to allow urination without any problems. Just be careful that the tuboid is well centered on the glans to avoid flow detour.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The product is generally simple to use plus Phimostop provides detailed instructions for use.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Phimostop tuboids should preferably be applied while the penis is at rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In case of involuntary erection, the tuboid does not create discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Phimostop is a medical device specifically designed to treat phimosis. It has no side effects and causes no pain. If you have any discomfort, it is because perhaps the tuboid (made of soft medical silicone) has been placed incorrectly or because you are rushing things too much (we always recommend taking small steps without ever forcing the phimotic ring). If this is the case, please contact us and we will give you full assistance to make the best use of the product.<\/span><\/p>\n
