There is no such thing as a redundant prepuce. Phimosis is the normal state of the prepuce (foreskin) when a male is born. when he is born the foreskin is usually still fused to the glans and in a developmental stage. and will loosen of naturally without any force usually somewhere between the age of 3 months and 3 years of age. there is no hard and fast rule though if the foreskin remains too tight this can be remedied with foreskin stretching exercises and steroid cremes. For satisfying sex the fore skin plays an important part. To treat balanoposthitis you need to treat your phimosis. After you have you just clean it and apply antibiotics.

What is partial circumcision?
Partial circumcision removes only part of the foreskin. Partial foreskin may be used to treat phimosis (a tight foreskin) that does not respond to gradual stretching exercises with a corticosteroid cream. Instead of removing the entire foreskin, partial circumcision only removes the tight phimotic ring that prevents the foreskin from being retracted. Many men with phimosis prefer partial circumcision to complete circumcision as it retains most of the foreskin, which functions in several ways to increase pleasure during sexual activity.

Does Texas Medicaid cover circumcision?
Normally no. It will not pay for infant circumcision as that is not a necessary medical procedure. It will not pay for any circumcision done for cosmetic reasons. However, Medicaid will cover circumcision when it is medically necessary, for example when an adult male has phimosis, a chronic constriction of the foreskin that prevents normal functioning of the penis.
Does circumcision have benefits?
No."I am in favor of leaving the penis alone. Pediatric opinion is swinging away from routine circumcision as unnecessary and at least mildly dangerous. I also believe that there is a potential danger of emotional harm resulting from the operation. Parents should insist on convincing reasons for circumcision and there are no convincing reasons that I know of (as cited in Wallerstein, 1980)."- Dr. Benjamin Spock,www.noharmm.org/pollack.htmThis is a controversial and emotional issue, but to be fair it must be brought to light that research shows some modest medical benefit from circumcision. The procedure is virtually never medically indicated for newborn boys. There is modest increased protection against risks many years into the boy's future, but these risks are already low even without circumcision. Many physicians consider the normal state of physiological phimosis at birth to continue as late as adolescence. Physiological phimosis is in distinction to pathological phimosis where the condition presents as a medical issue that needs to be addressed. There are also serious side effects from circumcision, including disfigurement, functional loss and sometimes amputation of the penis. While circumcision-related death is very rare, it can and does occur.

Is phimosis surgury painful and is it requireed to get admited in Hospital?
Phimosis surgery? You're probably referring to circumcision. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin. As you might have noticed the foreskin is erogenous skin tissue, in other words, it feels good to touch it, so you're going to have that permanently taken away. First of all, have you spoken with your doctor about nonsurgical treatment, such as prescription steroid cream or skin tissue expansion, or less invasive surgery, such as dorsal slit? Treatment isn't required for phimosis too. You can have a normal sex life with this condition. Also, the condition often goes away by itself before the end of adolescence. Anyway, circumcision is more complicated for people with phimosis then for people with normal foreskin so you won't be awake during the procedure. They'll put you out and afterwards you'll have to stay overnight on the hospital or clinic. Your bandages will be removed the following day and you'll receive instructions on how to care for your penis until it heals. You'll also receive pain medicine to use afterwards. So no, it is not painful (unless you live in some barbaric region of our globe). And yes, you'll get admitted.

How can you tell if you have phimosis or am starting puberty late?
Phimosis (a tight foreskin) and late puberty are two different problems that have little to do with eachother. If you are 15 years old and do not have pubic hair or have not experienced any of the other changes of puberty such as underarm hair, penile growth, or voice change you should see your pediatrician or family doctor. While it is usually perfectly normal for some boys to go through puberty later than others, occasionally delayed puberty is due to an existing medical problem. If you can not pull your foreskin back to expose the head of the penis, then that would be called phimosis. Phimosis is easily treated by using a series of exercises to gradually stretch the opening of the foreskin along with a topical corticosteroid cream. This works in about 9 out of 10 cases of phimosis, meaning that you'll be able to keep your foreskin and avoid a painful circumcision. For more information on stretching, search wikianswers for: "How do you cure phimosis?"
What are some causes of phimosis?
Phimosis can be caused by a congenital disease. This means that is caused from birth and can only be corrected through surgery. Other causes for phimosis are balanitis, frenulum breve and preputial stenosis.
