Such therapy intervenes mainly where there is not yet a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.phimostop.com\/en\/phimotic-ring-tight-foreskin-stretcher\/\"><u>phimotic ring<\/u><\/a>, that is, where a \u201cloop\u201d of inelastic cells is not yet present, and its effects depend on the type of phimosis and the patient\u2019s personal response.<br>In\u00a0<strong>acquired phimosis in adulthood<\/strong>, on the other hand, there is the creation, after infection, of a phimotic ring of inelastic cells that creates a loop on the foreskin.<br>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\u00a0<strong>what phimosis creams are and when it is appropriate to use them<\/strong>.<\/div>\n\n\n<style>#gspb_heading-id-gsbp-a56e968{margin-top:0px;}<\/style>\n<div id=\"1\"><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-a56e968\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-a56e968 \"><strong><strong><strong>Elasticizing phimosis treatment creams: why to avoid them<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.gspb_text-id-gsbp-88ba125{margin-top:0px!important;}<\/style>\n<div id=\"gspb_text-id-gsbp-88ba125\" class=\"gspb_text gspb_text-id-gsbp-88ba125 \"><strong>Circumcision surgery\u00a0<\/strong>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<br>To understand whether and when it is appropriate to use elasticizing creams, it is first important to distinguish the\u00a0<strong>type of phimosis, whether congenital or acquired<\/strong>. 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.<br>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,\u00a0<strong>when the foreskin has lost its ability to stretch, performing preputial gymnastics can cause skin lesions to appear.<\/strong>\u00a0Stretching 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.<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.gs-video{position:relative;}.gs-video-wrapper{position:relative;height:inherit;max-width:100%}.gs-video-header{text-align:center}.gs-video-header .gs-video-header-title{font-size:24px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;margin:0 0 15px}.gs-video-header .gs-video-header-description{font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;margin:0 0 25px}.gs-video video{display:block}.gs-video .gs-video-element,.gs-video .gs-video-wrapper iframe{width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;border:0;}.gs-video .gs-video-wrapper iframe{aspect-ratio:16 \/ 9;display:block}.gs-video-overlay{position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;z-index:3;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,.1);background-size:cover;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;cursor:pointer}.gs-video-overlay .gs-overlay-color{position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;z-index:2}.gs-video-overlay:hover .gs-play-icon{opacity:1}.gs-video-popup .slbContentOuter{width:100%;max-width:1000px}.gs-video-popup .slbContentOuter .slbContent iframe,.gs-video-popup .slbContentOuter .slbContent video{width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;}.gs-video-popup .slbContentOuter .slbContent iframe{aspect-ratio:16 \/ 9}.gs-video-popup .slbCloseBtn{font-size:30px;width:40px;height:40px;line-height:40px;right:0;top:-50px}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-video gs-video youtube gspb_video-id-gsbp-46dca78\" id=\"gs-video-gsbp-46dca78\"><div class=\"gs-video-wrapper\" itemscope><iframe class=\"gs-video-element\" data-src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SarR5sYICK4?si=jnCl1EXTImrGK4BF\" data-provider=\"youtube\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-playsinline=\"false\" data-controls=\"true\" data-loop=\"false\" data-mute=\"false\" data-overlay=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\" data-modestbranding=\"false\" data-suggested=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#gspb_heading-id-gsbp-c2bc09f{margin-top:0px;}<\/style>\n<div id=\"2\"><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-c2bc09f\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-c2bc09f \"><strong><strong><strong>Steroid cream for phimosis<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gspb_text-id-gsbp-aacd537\" class=\"gspb_text gspb_text-id-gsbp-aacd537 \">Another type of phimosis cream is\u00a0<strong>steroid cream<\/strong>.
