Phimosis Surgery

Children: In childhood, phimosis can be performed when the skin over the glans does not allow them to urinate properly. At Sants Gynecological Clinic we do not carry out interventions on minors.

Adults: most adults who go through phimosis surgery is because they experience difficulties during sexual relations and/or with personal hygiene.

Elderly: at advanced ages, the need for phimosis surgery might occur if the foreskin has become too narrow and prevents you from urinating easily.

The phimosis surgery is ambulatory. This means that hospital admission is not necessary and recovery is relatively quick and easy.

At the time of the intervention, local anesthesia is usually placed on the skin of the penis. However, we also provide the option of general anesthesia if the patient wishes.

The duration of the intervention is about 40 minutes, although it may vary slightly depending on the case. The time spent at the clinic can then vary from 1:00 to 1:30 hours if necessary.

During the intervention, the pain you feel depends on the type of anesthesia chosen and the level of pain tolerance of each person. The postoperative period of this intervention is generally not painful. If discomfort occurs after the intervention, the doctor will prescribe pain medication. This discomfort usually goes away within 3-4 days.

It is important to wait 25-40 days after phimosis surgery for the incisions to be fully healed and having sexual relations again.
