Will I feel any pain when using Novoglan?

Use of the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher is a virtually pain-free procedure which gently stretches the foreskin. When used as directed, this Novoglan device will effectively provide long-term relief from the pain and discomfort caused by phimosis.

What is phimosis?

Phimosis is the medical term doctors use to describe a tight foreskin, which cannot be properly retracted from the glans (head) of the penis.

If I use the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ for 14 days, will I be cured?

The majority of men with phimosis who use the Novoglan Foreskin Stretcher once a day for 14 days experience a noticeably looser foreskin. As everyone is different, the treatment length and frequency may vary from person to person. Some men may need to use the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher twice a day or for longer than 14 days. If your foreskin is especially tight, you may benefit from using the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher in tandem with a topical steroid cream containing 0.05% active ingredient.

Will phimosis recur after using the Novoglan device?

After using the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher, most men find long-term relief; their foreskin is permanently stretched. In rare cases, after stopping the use of the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher, some men may experience slight re-tightening of the foreskin. If this situation happens to you, simply use the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher again.

How big does the foreskin opening need to be to use the Gentle Foreskin Stretcher?

The Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher can fit through a foreskin opening as small as 2.5 mm. This means that it is suitable for almost all men.

Can I use a topical steroid cream with the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™?

Yes. In some cases of severe phimosis, the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher may be more effective when used with a steroid cream containing 0.05% active ingredient. You can buy such a product from your local pharmacy or drug store. In some countries, you may need a prescription. You can also use the Novoglan Cream to aid stretching with the Novoglan device.

Can the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ treat frenulum breve?

Frenulum Breve is a condition where the elastic tissue that helps pull the prepuce over the glans is too short, which restricts the movement of the foreskin. In some cases, Frenulum Breve may be associated with phimosis. However, the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ is not designed to treat Frenulum Breve. If you believe you have a frenulum breve, or a similar condition, please consult your local medical practitioner for treatment advice.

Why should I treat phimosis?

Some men may tolerate living with a tight foreskin for many years, even though it can be painful and interfere with urination and sexual activity. There are three important reasons to treat a tight foreskin. First relieving a tight foreskin will increase sensitivity and improve arousal during sexual intercourse. Second, treatment virtually eliminates the chance of infection and irritation under the foreskin. The third treatment almost eliminates the possibility of phimosis becoming paraphimosis. Paraphimosis is a serious condition, and it could lead to permanent loss of all sensation in your penis or even result in the loss of your penis altogether.

What are the other methods for treating phimosis?

There are two ways to treat phimosis. The first is the removal of the foreskin by surgery, commonly known as an adult circumcision. Not surprisingly, many men would rather not undergo this painful and often expensive surgery and lose their foreskin. The second treatment method is stretching the foreskin with your fingers; this method is unreliable, can tear, and may not work in more severe cases of phimosis.

The Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ provides a gentle, regular, even, effective way to stretch your foreskin in the privacy of your own home. The Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ is simple to use and is effective in treating all degrees of phimosis.

Will using the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ prevent delayed ejaculation?

Yes, such an outcome is quite possible. Relieving a tight foreskin with the Gentle Foreskin Stretcher improves the sensitivity of the penis by allowing the foreskin to retract and exposing the glans (head) of the penis. This can help alleviate delayed ejaculation.

Will using the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™ affect penis size?

No, phimosis is not associated with penis size. Alleviating a tight foreskin will not alter the size or shape of the penis.

Can children use the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™?

The Novoglan Foreskin Tissue Expander is indicated for stretching in adults. Some doctors will prescribe Novoglan to stretch or open a phimotic foreskin in a child. However, because we do not have an indication, we do not recommend that males under the age of 18 years use the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Stretcher™. Boys and young men are still developing, and full retractability of the foreskin may not be achieved until late childhood or early adulthood. If you still have concerns about your child, we recommend consulting your local medical practitioner. It is not unlawful for a doctor to prescribe Novoglan; however, we do not market the product for use in children.

What should I do if I am unsure whether I have phimosis?

If you are not sure you have phimosis, we recommend that you contact your local medical practitioner. You can also ask your local medical practitioner about the Novoglan Gentle Foreskin Tissue Expander™.

Will the NOVOGLAN cream and soap cure my balanitis and thrush on my foreskin and penis?

NOVOGLAN soap and cream may help with balanitis and thrush and are safe to use on a regular basis. Many studies have shown that the active ingredient in NOVOGLAN cream and soap has powerful antimicrobial action that, when combined in our NOVOGLAN sensitive skin formulation, will get rid of that red, sore, itchy rash on your foreskin or penis in the privacy of your own home. If your partner regularly suffers from thrush, then use NOVOGLAN cream and soap after sexual intercourse.
