Help!

[glubur2014]

So basically I'm 17 and I can pull my foreskin back a little but not a lot, and I was wondering if anybody else out there is in the same situation as me? I know there are ways around this such as circumcision etc, but that's a last resort.

Because of this I haven't done anything with a girl and I'm scared too in case of what they think, and to be honest.. it sucks haha!

So if there is anybody else out there in the same situation, feel free post a reply! (advice from anybody is more than welcome and appreciated:)!

When I was 13 I went to the doctor for the same reason and he said to use the cream he gave me and if not I needed to get circumcised go to your doctor

What you might have is Phimosis, which is where the opening of the foreskin is tighter than it should be and in most cases restricts the ability to retract the foreskin. Luckily, circumcision is only really needed for drastic cases and a lot of the time it can be treated without professional medical attention. One way of doing this is to do simple stretching exercises in the bath or shower or somewhere else with warm water that will help relay and loosen the skin. Try stretching the skin to the point where it hurts a tiny bit (but dont go further and force it) and then repeat. After repeated use of this method, many people find that the results are useful.
What can also do is go to a GP or urologist and explain your full situation - and stress the fact that you dont want a circumcision. What they might recommend in that case is a procedure where a small slit is made at the opening of the foreskin which allows for unrestricted movement of the skin over the head. From what i can tell, the procedure would be quick, painless and has a quick recovery time, and doesnt effect the sensitivity or function of the foreskin

Thanks for the reply Spud, I'm aware of this cream, it's just getting it which is the difficult part haha, it's kind of an awkward situation talking about it, I don't speak about it with my parents and I think I do need to go to the doctors and try and sort it out!:S

Thanks for the reply Alex, I've looked into it before and phimosis has came up a few times, I've also seen the stretching exercises I'm just scared to do it incase I do it too far and it might have severe consequences.. I've noticed when I masturbate for a long time my foreskin comes back further and further. I'll have to look into it more and find out more information about the small slit!
Thanks again!

I would definatly get help from a doc or parent, it is hard to tell them, but its better to get it sorted.

Alex gives good advice. Can you pull your foreskin back when soft? There's no need to be scared. When you stretch, just don't do it too hard. When you feel pain, stop. The only thing that could happen, when hard is the skin could catch under the head of he penis. If that's the case, let yourself go soft (which may be easier if you do feel pain and you should be OK). I may take weeks to months of doing it before you get here, but you should slowly get there.

Nah I can't put it back when it's soft or hard, I mean I can a little bit, but not a lot. I've tried it before and it does hurt haha, another thing to point out and I don't know if this has any relavance or if I'm aloud to post this (sorry I'm new) but when I masturbate a lot, sometimes there's a very very small split in my foreskin which hurts a little. I might have to give stretching another go!

Is the split some sort of cut? If you also visit the doc, you may also be able to get some steroid cream that should help too, but give the stretching a go first. Good luck!

it's probably because when I masturbate I pull it back a lot and I'm really rough which means I stretching it too much and causing it to tear a little. Thank you!

if u cant pull it back when its soft that means u either have to consult a doctor or find ways but its a thing that can be resolved

[DarkHorse4eva]

i would definitely advice you to go to the doctor
