Foreskin problem

[didier]

Bump..
Well Ive read all your posts and now we're a year later. I've been pulling a bit when I was hard, but I can't say I really did my best. I don't think it got any better so i'll try to do it regularly from now on. What do you guys suggest? Pull it every day or..? Should I post pictures? Because the problem isn't really the part most in the front, but a little more to the middle. It's kind of hard to stretch it with my fingers so what should I do?

If yu guys say to post pics, I will. And I'm still VERY sure I DON'T want to be circumcised so don't make this thread into a fight about that again, stay OT. Thanks !

Hi Didier. I suggested putting something inside your foreskin opening to stretch it all the time. It would be best if it is something that can be washed easily. (Occasionally run through your dishwasher to sterilize it.) Also, you could use some sort of tubing - like silicone rubber surgical tubing so you could pee through it if you wanted. On the other hand it will be easy to remove for urination, so it probably doesn't matter what you use as long as it is comfortable and provides a reasonable amount of tension to expand the skin over time. You can gradually increase the size of the "stretcher." If you feel pain you are going way too fast.

It should be easy. If people can expand their earlobes, you can expand your foreskin. Foreskin is much more elastic than ear lobes to begin with.

Take care.

shove some rocks under there and it should loosen up.

I'd much rather be cut than have a phimosed dick.

Not me. I'd rather have the dick I was born with. Phimosis affects something like two percent of men and is treatable. Google it. Circumcision is nominally treatable through restoration, but if a cut guy can expand the foreskin remnant enough to have a serviceable facsimile of what he was born with, think how much easier it would be for a guy with a natural penis to expand his foreskin in the event of foreskin tightness.

Circumcision is a "cure" for phimosis like cutting off your fingertip is a "cure" for a hangnail. Meanwhile, the great majority of men have trouble free penises throughout life.

Didier,

Some good news:

In the year since you started the thread, the tone in the circ/foreskin topics has improved. Some of the bad-asses who posted here have departed. Those remaining have cooled somewhat.

You now have a better chance of getting meaningful advice. I don't think it will turn into a fight as it did before.

Some bad news:

It looks like a physician needs to look at it. That doesn't mean circumcision is necessary. You might need a prescription steroid cream or a minor surgery known as preputioplasty [part of the "band" is cut and stitched back together -- you keep your foreskin, however].

Your question: "What do you guys suggest? Pull it every day or..?"

At the very least, every day. Perhaps 2 or 3 times a day depending on how it feels. It appears that you haven't been diligent. If not then it's time for a change of motivation. :smile:

i had phimosis for years and went to a doctor when i was 28. he scheduled me right away for circumsition which i really did not wanted but i was unable to retract even when soft. i asked him if it could be done in a way to preserve the skin b ut he told me no.

still somehow my skin goes over the head when i am soft. my new urologist asked me if i was cut or not when he first saw me. so when i am soft i am uncut and when i am hard i am cut and you can see the scars of the stitching.

the surgery was done on a friday as an outpatient procedure and i went to work on monday wearing sweatpants though. nothing tight. the funniest thing is that the first week you can get hard just by feeling the air on your head. but that stops afterwards too. it was not too painful at all except the first 3 days when you get the morning wood stretching your stitches. ouch.

i wish i had my skin though. my brother father and all my nephews are uncut and i like it.

ok, sorry to bounce this to the top...

im 19 and have this problem, i went to see my GP and he said it wasnt as bad as I thought and, as i expected, ultimatly the only cure is to cut it off. I told him that when im hard's the problem, and his reply basicly was "well, it doesnt have to" which i was surprised at. he gave me some anesthetic cream to use while stretching to help overcome any pain. I was expecting and hoping for a steroid cream, but the NHS have gone right of steroids, and it turned out later he's and anethetist.

It was a bit embarrising, but im glad ive been. It was about a month ago, and its definatly loser and i can pull it back more when im hard, however, having never had sex, im still worried what guys might think, but i really dont want it cutting off, cos in the UK, that's just as unusual. im sticking to stretching for now, but if it doesnt sort itself out with that, ill probly go back, as ive read there are procedures that arent total circumcision that can help.

I had it back about half way when i was wanking the other day, and it was so hot jerking off, shot the biggest load ever. but a few weeks before i watching porn, my dick poking out the side of my boxers and the skin cam right back, it kinda freaked me out! it think the boxers pulling had done it, and it wasnt the most comfortable as it was still a bit tight back then.

Anyway, my advice is, see your GP, they wont care, its what they are trained in. Your not a person to them, your just another patient.

Why is everyone so quick to recommend circumcision, to me it is the most un-natural thing for any guy to be subjected to. Phimosis is soon sorted with steroid cream gentle stretching and lots of patience.

Good luck and remain intact

Well, unless it's unbearably painful when you have an erection while the foreskin is retracted (as you said you can retract your foreskin when you're soft), I reckon you could give yourself some more time and put up with the pain for a bit. Over time the foreskin will loosen up and before you know it you'll be pulling it back when you're rock hard.

I was exactly the same as you and I did what I did, which is what I'm passing on to you, and now I'm all right. Just try to retract your foreskin any time you can. It helps loosen up the foreskin quicker and you can clean the glan more thoroughly.

However, if over time this practice doesn't help you then I suppose the doctor would be your next resort.

Good luck!

I had an extremely bad case of phimosis myself, and I had fretted about it for years. I thought it was time to get something done about it, the next time I finished at the doctors for whatever I just said "There's something else. It's kind of awkward, but...." He said he'll take a look, I got up on the bed and got it out, showed him how tight it was, and after 5 seconds he said ok. He sat down and started writing a prescription for some steroid cream to aid in stretching. Simply apply a little around the foreskin twice a day, and then try to retract the foreskin. He also mentioned to come back once the cream was gone to get more, or if no improvement had occured there was other alternatives (circumcision, removing just the tight bit etc)

I still haven't managed to fix the problem, but I had worked myself into worrying about it so much that I wouldn't do something about it. After biting the bullet and doing something about it, I realised I could have (and should have) done it years ago, and it would be fixed by now. I'm from Australia however, where circumcision is less common than in the US, and therefore doctors would be more familiar with this kind of problem. Don't listen to people (even your doctor) when they say you have to get a circumcision, there are mountains of evidence out there that say it is much easier and painless to fix than that. In many cases, depending how bad, your foreskin may be retractable in a shorter time than it would take to recover from the circumcision. Unfortunately, mine was really bad (could barely see head through the opening), so I'm slowly but surely working on it.

I saw a study somewhere (can't remember unfortunately) that a significant portion of people with phimosis masturbate "the wrong way". Instead of going up and down in a way that would pull the foreskin back (and in our case stretch it again and again slowly), they do it a different way, such as just rubbing over the head repeatedly (kind of like what I did) or things like rubbing on pillows... Getting it "right" should aid in your stretching and fix this problem quicker.

Long story short, your doctor should be able to help you (with a steroid cream), but if he won't (circumcision) you should still be able to do it yourself, it might just take a little longer...

Maybe doctors need classes on masturbation instead of circumcision. They are always supposed to recommend the least invasive treatment first. Kudos to your doc arisen.

Any dudes with a tight foreskin might want to consider using the 'Glansie" device, or the "GFS" (gentle foreskin stretcher) balloon system, before getting trimmed. Google them. They really work. The Platigo was designed by doctors - the website (where you can buy online) is gfs.platigo.com. I have no financial interest in the device, I'm only concerned that men don't irreversibly alter their anatomy with surgery when there are viable alternatives available.

Hi,

my penis is bigger now after PE,especially the glans!Fore skin is a bit tight now.When my girl is giving me a nice hard hand job the skin gets little cracks!What is the best to stretch the skin and heal the cracks??

Thx Boys!!

 

[Al7inchs_n_thick86]

hi ozo and welcome!
I had the same issues with my P.E. and found that just keeping the foreskin moisturized helps heal and prevent (use a non-perfumed moisturizing lotion) and stretching the skin out wider gently using fingers and also stretching the skin back and tight towards/against my pubic bone to generate a bit more skin length.

Just like PE start slow after doing research; do no harm; and you will start to see a bit of breathing room before too long.

Blessings.

I have the same problem, seeing my GP soon

Hello,
I have a weird problem concerning my foreskin,
I am not circumsized and when my penis is erect,
my foreskin is over my head of my penis. I can't put the head
of the penis out of the foreskin if you know what I mean, I can only
do this when my penis is not hard. I don't think this is normal or is it?
And I don't think I get as much stimulation as you guys because I don't
stimulate my head directly, but only through the foreskin that doesn't move.
I think it's because my foreskin isn't wide enough. I tried to put my foreskin backwards when I wasn't erect and then get an erection, but that HURTS like HELL ! I don't know what to do and I'm not intending to go to a doctor with this ...

Hi Didier:

Yes, you are correct. Your foreskin is not wide enough. You can make it wider by stretching it to produce tissue expansion. Go to this website for more information:

Don't consult a doctor and don't listen to those guys who say you need a circumcision.

Your GP was wrong. Guys all over the world are stretching their tight foreskins to make them retract.
