Phimosis
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be pulled back freely over the glans of the penis. Together with a short frenulum, it is one of the common problems in adult men that can complicate both hygiene and sexual life. We can examine both conditions discreetly and treat them on an outpatient basis.

Bratislava – Bernolákova 9 (STEIN II)
What are phimosis and a short frenulum
In phimosis, the foreskin is so tight that it cannot be pulled back over the glans (or only with pain). A short frenulum is the band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the glans; when stretched, it causes pain or may tear. In adults, the two conditions often occur together.
These are common problems that can be resolved well, and we approach them with sensitivity and discretion. Both the examination and the procedures are carried out by a team overseen by the urologist and urologic oncologist MUDr. Ľuboš Rybár.
How it shows up
- The foreskin cannot be pulled back freely over the glans
- Pain or tightness during erection and sexual intercourse
- Recurrent inflammation of the glans and foreskin (balanitis)
- Difficult hygiene and redness around the glans
- Tearing or bleeding of a short frenulum during intercourse
Why phimosis should not be ignored
Untreated problems can keep coming back and get worse.
Recurrent balanitis
A tight foreskin makes hygiene difficult and encourages recurrent inflammation of the glans and foreskin.
Pain during intercourse
Stretching of a tight foreskin or a short frenulum causes pain and reduces the quality of intimate life.
Risk of tearing
A short frenulum can tear and bleed during intercourse, which is painful and unpleasant.
Higher risk of infection
Difficult hygiene can increase the risk of infection, so it is worth having the condition resolved.
How the examination works at our office
We assess the extent of the problem and propose the most suitable solution.
Consultation and medical history
We go through your symptoms, how they developed and how they limit you. The conversation is sensitive and discreet.
Specialist examination
We assess how tight the foreskin is and the state of the frenulum, and rule out inflammation or infection if needed.
Proposed solution
Depending on the findings, we recommend a conservative approach or a tailored outpatient procedure.
Booking the procedure
If a procedure is appropriate, we agree a date and explain the preparation and what to expect.
Treatment options
From a conservative approach to a definitive outpatient procedure.
Circumcision
The definitive solution to phimosis by removing the tight foreskin. We perform the procedure on an outpatient basis, and a follow-up check after the procedure is part of the care.
Frenulum repair (frenulotomy)
Releasing a short frenulum removes the pain and tightness during intercourse. We perform the procedure on an outpatient basis, and a follow-up check is part of the care.
Treating inflammation
If acute inflammation is present, we treat it first and schedule the procedure only once it has cleared.
When to see a urologist
Dealing with it early prevents complications.
- You cannot pull back the foreskin, or doing so is painful
- Inflammation of the glans and foreskin keeps recurring
- You feel pain during intercourse or the frenulum has torn
- The foreskin is stuck behind the glans and cannot be returned – seek help without delay
Book a discreet appointment
Fast appointment, usually within a few days; acute cases are seen as a priority. Call +421 948 687 667.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, we perform both procedures on an outpatient basis, and a follow-up check after the procedure is part of the care.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel very little. Mild discomfort after the procedure is easily managed with ordinary painkillers.
A short frenulum causes pain and tightness during intercourse and can tear. It is treated by releasing it – a frenulum repair, which we perform on an outpatient basis.
Most men return to their normal activities quickly. Your doctor will give you precise advice on healing and intimate life after the procedure.
No. We are a private office with no contracts with health insurers, so no referral is needed and you book directly.
