What is circumcision<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Circumcision is the partial or total surgical removal of the foreskin, the part of skin covering the glans. From birth, the penis is covered with a layer of skin from the base to the glans. On the glans, the foreskin has two layers of skin, the outer and the inner, which run between them to protect the mucous membrane and conserve moisture and sensitivity.
The double layer of skin makes it possible to increase the amount of dermis when the penis is erect, compared to when it is at rest.
Circumcision removes the foreskin, making the glans always uncovered. The glans is therefore no longer covered and develops a keratin layer with a protective function.
Intervention can be performed for religious, cultural, personal or medical reasons.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Phimostop: treating phimosis without circumcision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Phimostop is an innovation for the treatment of phimosis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Until recently, in case of\u00a0medium to severe\u00a0phimosis<\/u><\/a><\/strong>, circumcision was performed to\u00a0remove the part of the foreskin causing the phimosis.\u00a0Depending on the proportion of the foreskin that was phimotic, the surgeon would perform a partial or total circumcision.

That was until Phimostop was patented and manufactured<\/strong>

Circumcision is classified as a routine operation<\/strong>, so is usually performed on an out-patient basis, followed by a post-operative period of about one month.

The intervention is generally scheduled after visiting a specialist, and along with the pre-operation examinations, is generally performed in a day-hospital, mainly with local anaesthesia. The foreskin is removed using a\u00a0laser<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0scalpel<\/strong>\u00a0and, of course, resolves the phimosis.

The after-effects of the surgery (stitches, scars, possible swelling, redness and burning) vary from person to person, but it is always important to follow the hygiene instructions and guidance on post-operative medications that the medical staff provides.

Articles and papers have been written about the features and issues involved in such operations, and these seek to capture the various facets of the operation, such as \u201cage-old<\/strong>\u201d and \u201csensitive<\/strong>\u201c. The debate usually focuses mainly on the consequences of the intervention, the medical- (for treatment and prevention of some diseases) and sexual aspects (in the context of the perception of pleasure).

For the patient, however, circumcision can be extremely traumatic psychologically, and an irreversible physical impairment that\u2019s difficult to accept.\u00a0Not infrequently, patients prefer to live with their phimosis, rather than undergo surgery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The foreskin and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0foreskin<\/strong>\u00a0is a special tissue, composed of an internal and an external sheet that can slide over each other, and over the glans. In addition to serving a protective function, it forms the seat of countless nerve terminals over its entire surface, and is anteriorly bound to the frenulum which transmits erotic stimuli.
Its\u00a0main functions<\/strong>\u00a0are to\u00a0protect the glans<\/strong>\u00a0from contamination and direct contact with rough surfaces, and\u00a0participation in sexual activity\u00a0<\/strong>as a transmitter of erotic sensations.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Protection<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
From birth, the foreskin covers the penis with a continuous layer of skin and serves the same function as the eyelids provide for the eyes. Thanks to the sebum it produces, the foreskin keeps the surface of the glans soft, moist and sensitive, in addition to maintaining optimal warmth, pH balance, and cleanliness.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Erogenous sensitivity<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The foreskin has a large number of special nerve receptors, enabling it to perceive movement, as well as small temperature changes and various grades of textures.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Immunological defenses<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The glands in the foreskin are designed to produce antibacterial and antiviral proteins (e.g., lysozyme, which is also present in breast milk and tears) and its external part is covered with epithelial cells (\u201cLangerhans\u201d), which are components of the immune system. The mucosa of the foreskin, as with every lining of bodily orifices, serves as a primary weapon in the immunological defence system, thanks to plasma cells and immunoglobulins that can secrete antibodies to defend it from infections. As stated in the Manual of Clinical Andrology, edited by Wolf-Bernhard Schill, Frank H. Comhaire and Timothy B. Hargreave, the foreskin also has a \u201cvariable commensal community that includes Corynebacterium, anaerobic gram-negative bacteria, enterococci and mycobacteria\u201d all of which are useful for immunological prevention.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

Treating phimosis without circumcision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The aim of Phimostop\u00a0is to offer an alternative to those who want to avoid circumcision<\/strong>. A\u00a0natural method\u00a0that uses the principle of tissue expansion to resolve phimosis without surgery, which allows patients to avoid waiting times, which are often very long (depending on the local health units involved, this can be anywhere from 3 to 24 months), and the high cost (for operations in private facilities).

The idea of surgery on a part so intimate and delicate can force men to postpone the solution to the problem, and go into hiding, which not only risks their health situation becoming worse, but also worsens their sexual relationships.

By using Phimostop however, you can address the situation in a\u00a0very short time, and\u00a0benefit from regression of the phimosis without submitting to an invasive operation<\/strong>, and retain the other natural functions of the foreskin.

The effectiveness of Phimostop as a possible\u00a0alternative to circumcision<\/u><\/a>\u00a0surgery is proven by the\u00a0Clinical research<\/u><\/a>\u00a0conducted by the Tor Vergata University of Rome Polyclinic.<\/strong>\u00a0whose results were published in the international scientific journal \u201cTranslational Urology and Andrology\u201d under the title \u201cCan circumcision be avoided in adult male with phimosis? Results of the PhimoStop prospective trial\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
