With the guidance of a medical professional, try non-surgical stretching methods to gradually widen the foreskin opening and help the foreskin push back more easily. 3. Surgical treatment If phimosis persists and affects the child's quality of life or hygiene, or symptoms such as repeated infections and difficulty urinating, the doctor may recommend surgical treatment, namely circumcision.
