How do I know when I have inflated the balloon enough?

The correct amount of inflation is based on how the stretch feels, not on how large the balloon becomes. Once you feel a gentle, comfortable and even stretch, you have reached the correct inflation level. If you continue inflating after this point, you are unlikely to improve your treatment and may increase the risk of discomfort or balloon damage.

Should I inflate the balloon to its maximum size?

No. The Novoglan balloon is not designed to be inflated to its maximum size during treatment. Instead, inflate only until you achieve a gentle, comfortable stretch. Every patient is different, so the correct amount of inflation will vary depending on your individual anatomy and the tightness of your foreskin.

Why did my balloon burst?

Balloon damage or bursting may occur for several reasons, including overinflation, incorrect positioning, a folded or twisted balloon, pinching of the balloon between tissues, or damage before or during treatment. To reduce the likelihood of damage, inspect the balloon before use, position it carefully, inflate slowly, and stop once a gentle stretch is achieved.

I don't feel a stretch. Should I keep inflating?

No. If you are not feeling a stretch after gradual inflation, do not continue adding more air. Deflate the balloon, remove it carefully, check its position, ensure it is not folded or twisted, and reinsert according to the Instructions for Use. The correct solution is usually repositioning, not more inflation.

The balloon keeps slipping. What should I do?

If the balloon slips during treatment, stop the session and deflate it. Remove the balloon and check that it is positioned correctly, not twisted or folded, and not pinching the skin before repositioning. If you cannot achieve a stable position, contact Novoglan Customer Support.

Should treatment ever be painful?

No. You should feel gentle stretching, not pain. Pain, burning, sharp pulling, pinching, or numbness indicate that the balloon may be overinflated or incorrectly positioned. If you experience pain, stop inflating, deflate the balloon, and reassess position.

Can I reuse a burst or damaged balloon?

No. A balloon that has burst, leaked, or appears damaged should never be reused. Always replace it with a new balloon before your next treatment session.

What should I do if I notice bleeding or swelling?

Stop treatment immediately. Do not continue treatment if you develop bleeding, tearing, increasing swelling, significant irritation, numbness, or skin colour changes. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.

What if my foreskin becomes stuck behind the head of the penis?

If your foreskin becomes trapped behind the head of the penis and cannot be gently returned to its normal position, seek urgent medical attention immediately. This may be paraphimosis, which is a medical emergency requiring prompt assessment and treatment.

Can I use the Novoglan Treatment Kit every day?

Use your Novoglan Treatment Kit exactly as described in the Instructions for Use or as advised by your healthcare professional. Following the recommended treatment schedule gives you the best chance of safe, consistent, and effective conservative treatment.

Can Novoglan be used for pinhole phimosis?

Is surgery always necessary?

No. Many men with uncomplicated phimosis may first consider conservative treatment options before surgery becomes necessary.
