At Andrología Málaga, Dr. Rodrigo España provides diagnosis and treatment of phimosis in adults and children. Each case is addressed individually, with effective and minimally invasive solutions to improve your intimate health and quality of life.
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin (the skin covering the glans) cannot be retracted properly. It can cause discomfort, difficulty urinating or during sexual activity, and increase the risk of infections.
At Andrología Málaga, Dr. Rodrigo España evaluates each case individually and provides the best treatment options, ranging from conservative approaches to minimally invasive surgery. The goal is to help you safely restore your intimate well-being without complications.
Phimosis can occur at any age, and its causes vary depending on the type:

If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it is recommended to consult a specialized andrologist. At Andrología Málaga, Dr. Rodrigo España will help you resolve the issue safely, discreetly, and effectively.

Less postoperative inflammation and discomfort
Natural aesthetic results
Shorter recovery time
Choosing this technique allows phimosis to be resolved quickly, safely, and comfortably, with minimal discomfort and excellent tolerance.
Yes. Although it often resolves during childhood, many men reach adulthood with phimosis, either due to natural causes or scarring from infections. It is more common than it seems.
Scalpel-free circumcision is a modern technique that uses a special device to remove the foreskin without a scalpel or visible stitches. Unlike conventional surgery, this method is less invasive, causes less bleeding, and allows for a faster and more comfortable recovery.
No. It is performed under local anesthesia, and the procedure is practically painless. After the intervention, discomfort is mild and can be easily managed with pain relievers. Many patients report that they expected it to be more uncomfortable and are pleasantly surprised at how well they tolerate it.
The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. It is an outpatient procedure, meaning no hospital stay is required and you can go home the same day.
You should keep the area clean and dry, apply any creams or ointments recommended by the specialist, and avoid intense physical activity for a few days. In general, recovery is quick and well tolerated. Dr. Rodrigo España will explain all the aftercare steps in detail.
Many patients resume their usual activities (work, walking, driving) within 2 to 3 days. Sexual activity should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on healing progress and the doctor’s recommendations.
