    Phimosis cream and ointment with steroids: functioning and effectiveness<\/b><\/h1>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In cases of congenital phimosis in youth, the use of <\/span>phimosis creams<\/b> is one of the recommended avenues before resorting to circumcision surgery. Such therapy intervenes mainly where there is not yet a <\/span>phimotic ring<\/u><\/span><\/a>, that is, where a “loop” of inelastic cells is not yet present, and its effects depend on the type of phimosis and the patient’s personal response.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In <\/span>acquired phimosis in adulthood<\/b>, on the other hand, there is the creation, after infection, of a phimotic ring of inelastic cells that creates a loop on the foreskin.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Although we always speak of phimosis, the two clinical cases are quite different and require very different therapies. In this article we will look at <\/span>what phimosis creams are and when it is appropriate to use them<\/b>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Elasticizing phimosis treatment creams: why to avoid them<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Circumcision surgery <\/b>has been the traditional therapy for treating phimosis for years. For this reason, it often happens that those most hostile to the idea of undergoing surgery search online for information on other, less invasive remedies, finding numerous sites that mention elasticizing creams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    To understand whether and when it is appropriate to use elasticizing creams, it is first important to distinguish the <\/span>type of phimosis, whether congenital or acquired<\/b>. The former occurs when the foreskin develops more slowly than the glans; acquired phimosis, on the other hand, occurs due to the loss of elasticity of the foreskin as a result of the formation of a phimotic ring formed by inelastic cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Keeping this difference in the causes of the occurrence of phimosis in mind is crucial when considering using an elasticizing cream to facilitate preputial gymnastics. Results can be achieved with this maneuver when it is performed when the foreskin is still elastic, as in the case of congenital phimosis. Conversely, <\/span>when the foreskin has lost its ability to stretch, performing preputial gymnastics can cause skin lesions to appear.<\/b> Stretching exercises for phimosis not only offer nothing in terms of improving the situation, but can even complicate it. One wrong move can permanently damage the foreskin, causing infection, scarring, or worsening the symptoms of phimosis.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/SarR5sYICK4?si=jnCl1EXTImrGK4BF”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Steroid cream for phimosis<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Another type of phimosis cream is <\/span>steroid cream<\/b>. The effect of steroid cream for phimosis is to create an antifibrotic and antiphlogistic action on the skin of the foreskin in order to facilitate the uncovering of the glans again.<\/span><\/p>\n

    From analysis, it appears that local application of a steroid cream makes the skin thinner and thus reduces the inflammatory component. Somehow it is this “side effect” of it that makes it useful for the treatment of congenital phimosis in youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the case of <\/span>acquired phimosis<\/b>, there are those who think that the application of a simple ointment on the penis, with the associated exercise of the foreskin, helps solve the problem. <\/span>This theory, however, has been disproved by numerous researches<\/b> that have analyzed the treatment of phimosis with placebo (non-steroidal) ointments showing less than comforting results (positive under 20 percent).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Do phimosis treatment creams work? The scientific research<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Scientific data in the field are always related to research on juvenile, congenital phimosis.<\/b><\/p>\n

    It is important to emphasize this precisely because phimosis in youth is quite different from phimosis in adulthood (congenital phimosis itself changes with age).<\/span><\/p>\n

    The <\/span>international scientific research “The response of phimosis to local steroid application” <\/b>by C. S. Kikiros, S. W. Beasley, and A. A. Woodward for the Department of General Surgery, Royal Children’s Hospital in Australia analyzed the effect of phimosis ointment therapy (three different types) applied to a young audience (up to 16 years of age) with varying degrees of congenital phimosis.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The conclusion of the analysis group was that local application of a steroid ointment on the foreskin produces resolution of juvenile congenital phimosis in more than 60 percent of cases, but <\/span>if the foreskin has a white circumferential scar (phimotic ring), it has a lower probability of responding to treatment.<\/b> After cessation of steroid cream, phimosis developed again in a percentage of patients.<\/span><\/p>\n
