Phimosis Stretching exercises
For any treatment of phimosis that does not involve surgery, it will involve stretching the foreskin.  These exercises should be conducted alongside the other natural remedies listed here.The purpose of phimosis stretching exercises is to the stretch the skin sufficiently so that it can move unimpeded over the penis glans, which is the head of the penis. These exercises take time and patience and absolutely should not be rushed as you could cause injury and scarring which would make the phimosis worse.phimosis stretching exercises

First off, you must assess the size of the opening for the foreskin. Gently clasp the end of the foreskin while the penis is limp and pull it away from the body. Try to put a finger into the opening. If you can put a thumb in, do so. You do not need to insert the digit far as the purpose of inserting the digit is to get a purchase on the foreskin.

Be careful not to insert your finger too far to avoid touching the glans which will be very painful to touch. With the help of your other hand repeat, see if you can get another finger or thumb in the opening, begin to stretch the foreskin laterally as in the picture above. If you can only get one digit into the hole, then you will have to make do. The point here is to stretch laterally the foreskin ring which is the narrowest part.

Do not stretch the foreskin to the point that it is painful.

This will cause scarring and damage to the skin, which will make you phimosis worse. These phimosis stretching exercises should be done for 5 minutes in the morning and again in the evening. It will take about a week before you notice any material change so be patient and do not rush.

Doing long sessions will make little difference as the stretching will happen when the skin cells grow. The phimosis stretching exercises stimulate the growth, they do not actually stretch the skin. So it is more important to do frequent small sessions than infrequent, long sessions.

Remember the objective at this stage is to begin the loosening of the foreskin. You must not try and force the gland through the foreskin as you may not be able to get it back in. The foreskin can become trapped like an elastic band behind the gland, restricting blood flow to the penis head. This condition is called Paraphimosis and can often require surgery to fix.
