Foreskin problem !!

Well basically I am not able to pull my foreskin beyond the glans during an erection like this http://bit.ly/K0yGLK (it’s not me.). However using lubricant or water I am able to pull it down a bit further but that causes the head to bend and painful.
Does retract foreskin everyday when showering can help?? What should I do??


Thank you so much.

yeah, it should help, try and pull it back a little further everyday when showering, and also try retracting all the way back when you jack off.

If you pull it all the way back in one stroke you might break your frenulum. It's bette to stretch it out, but if it "snaps" don't worry! It happened to me when I was little and I have NO problems at all retracting now!

Trying to stretch it out first sounds like a good idea. I mean, if those punk dudes can stretch their earlobes out to the size of bicycle tires, we should all be able to get a nice, loose foreskin. (He says, only half-kidding.)

As a medical student here are my 2 cents:

The medical term for your condition is called phimosis. It occurs in about 1% of uncircumsized males past the age of 17 years old. Before age 17 its fairly normal to be unable to retract the foreskin completely, however past the age of 17 its considered a medical condition.

You should see a physician for it. Its not really a serious medical issue other than the fact that during intercourse, indivduals with phimosis are more likely to expereince pain, microbleeding, infection, or a more serious condition called paraphimosis.

Basically its not a big deal and the following ways are used to treat it:

Stretching excercises of the foreskin (be gentle...vigorous stretching can cause damage.)

Stretching excercises with bethamethasone steroid cream (you need a prescription for this cream)

Last case scenario is adult circumsicion or frenulum procedure.

But see your primary care doctor to see what the best options are.

Also there is a lot of misinformation on this forum. Whoever suggested to begin foreskin excercises at age 13 is COMPLETELY wrong. Too young. Its only an issue past age 17. Phimosis is normal among teenagers (99% lose it by age 17).

Also someone mentioned to keep the skin retracted all day long. That is dangerous as well. Puts you at a greater risk of tissue damage, ischemia, infections, ect.

Good rule of thumb: if it hurts then its probabley not the best solution. And see a doctor. Don't always trust what people write on the internet.

The underlined is complete bollocks. As most foreskins are retractile well before this, gentle stretching & the use of corticosteroids is widely practised during later childhood in the UK & elsewhere, under medical advice. There is no reason not to.

Perhaps cleanburst's med school teaching reflect the prevalence of circumcision in the US. However, the rest is reasonable, especially the advice to see a doctor.

Thank you so much.

The problem is called "phimosis". The best and most logical solution would probably be a circumcision or (if you love your foreskin so much) a preputioplasty. That would be the surgical repair of the prepuce or plastic surgery for it. Anyone would solve the problem and your pain will be gone for good.

There's a difference between a tight foreskin and phimosis. The two shouldn't be confused. Phimosis is basically a foreskin so tight that it causes problems. I'm not clear from this thread which the OP has - and perhaps he isn't clear either. My thought is deal with it if and when a problem develops.

you seem to think its funny haha
if it was a major health concern to you, you wouldnt hesitate to get to a Dr, me thinks

think your wasting kind members time?

In NZ had a couple of people in my care similar, and the GP Dr certainly checked it out, treated one, and referred another on to a specialist, after reassuring the guy ..both were in there early youth

maybe it's just your frenulum. My ex had a short, almost non-existent frenulum and had the same problem. When he would pull it back it would bend the head downwards .

It's suppose to do this.

This is what makes the wedge shape to draw out an competitor semen.

What?? I could retract with no problem at age 13 because I started stretching my foreskin early. When I'd pee in the shower I'd pinch the tip of the foreskin making it balloon and that stretched it little by little.

Not everyone develops the same. One of the problems is that pro-circumcision doctors will often draw an arbitrary line in the sand and declare that if a foreskin isn't fully developed past that point it needs to be removed. A foreskin that isn't retractable by the age of 17 is said to be pathologically phimotic, but many doctors will diagnose as such as early as the age of 5. Some still diagnose it at birth. And in any case, phimosis is not an idication for circumcision.

Thank you so much.

If the head bends down, then it means you have frenulum breve.

I didn't know it had positive benefits. But me and my brother would do that in the shower. It became a bit of a joke thing to do.

Was in hospital recently and a 86 year old man came into the same ward for a circumcision. He was only there for half a day before going home with some dressings - Just shows foreskin problems can occur at any time of life.
I know an elderly man who was circumcised in his 80s. It was not for phimosis or any foreskin problem. They did it because he was diabetic. They do it to keep yeast from growing. Makes no sense to do it at that age. He died 2 years later from a heart attack.

He contracted yeast infection(s) because he did not control his blood glucose level well. Plain vinegar as an antiseptic and Monistat applied will almost always cure, along with controlling the glucose level. I know because I am a diabetic and was told the only way to cure it was to cut it (about $1,500.00 USD). That's like taking the battery our of the smoke alarm because it keeps going off! I control my blood sugar level, and I wash every day. Some one did not practice - PREMVM NON NOCERE (Latin for First, Do No Harm). They only saw dollar signs.
