Foreskin Problems

[AdamTheAce]

im 14 and when my penis is soft i can pull back my foreskin. when erected its too tight & sore, is this normal?

[Joshm5816]

This could be a problem. Try pulling it back slowly. Do that every day. And if it still hurts after awhile. You may have to get circumsized.

[scuba steve]

it might be that thing you can get, where your foreskin hardens

[7tweety]

hmm, try gently retracting or pulling back your foreskin when you are cleaning it each time. You might want to have your doctor to look at it (providing you aren't too bashful)

[Jagador]

Basically do what they said.. lol slowly move it, and it it hurts still after awhile, go see a doctor to see what the problem is, also, if you have to get circumsized, its highly advised

[bowlheadhere]

I would go see a doctor and they can help with that problem. I have heard of people who stretch their foreskin when soft for a couple of minutes a day, and it helps them. Maybe try that?

Good old wikipedia .....................................

Phimosis is a condition when the foreskin of an adult cannot be retracted properly. (Before adulthood, the foreskin may still be separating from the glans.[34]) Phimosis can be treated by gently stretching the foreskin, by changing masturbation habits,[35] using topical steroid ointments, preputioplasty, or by circumcision.

Non-retractable foreskin is not always indicative of a clinical condition. The first time the foreskin retracts (say during masturbation or sex) can be a slightly painful experience, as the glans penis is not used to friction and air contact. However the problem resolves itself after a few days of acclimatization, which may include consciously retracting the foreskin and exposing it to air, water, or friction. A condition called paraphimosis may occur if a tight foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans and swells as a restrictive ring. This can cut off the blood supply, resulting in ischaemia of the glans penis.

Doctor is so not a solution here. Stretch it every day as far as you can and then keep it there for few minutes, the next day do the same. After some time you'll be able to pull it all the way back.

[diamond jetstream]

maybe you should think about getting cut or seeing a doctor

[AdamTheAce]

Phimosis is just another condition of tight foreskin. You can have a tight foreskin without any of the conditions. You can either go to a doctors so they can assess it and maybe give you steroid creams to thin the skin, or you can manually stretch it for about 5-15 minutes a day yourself.

If you're confident, go to a doctor. If they say circumcision don't listen because that should always be a last resort.

[AdamTheAce]

i will try stretching it each day. if nothign else works i will go to the doctor and tell my father ( gulp )

[Eagle1]

good luck but if it hurts too much STOP!

[problematic]

how far are you through puberty coz if your penis needs to grow more than the skin will have to stretch at some point, i have the same problem mate

[Jake11]

I have the same issue sorta.
When erect I can easily pull it back almost half way.
Then I can get it back all the way, but doesn't stay like that.

[kdddd]

thanks guys. im really bashful and shy so i cant see a doctor

hey man so if your to bashful to see a doctor then the best thing to do, is slowly pull it back and hold it there, for a few mins. Then do it every day until you can pull it back. BUT if this dose not work, you may really need to see a doctor and if your to bashful you can PM and i could try and help you with that becuase i had the same problem but go over it!:yeah:

[AdamTheAce]

i can get it to where the head becomes widest but after that its sore to pull down

just tight foreskin... try and pull it back a little further every day. it worked for me.

[Mike321]

I have the same problem mate, i can pull it back all the way when soft, but when its errect, its really tight and hurts if i try and pull it back.
But like everyone else has said just try streching it everyday

[trouble]

you should see a docter. you might probably have to get circumcized.

[CestDan]

you should see a docter. you might probably have to get circumcized.

I agree with him.

[Giles]

you should see a docter. you might probably have to get circumcized.

might probably?... anyway. You MAY get the OPTION to get cut.

[DJthekid]

just stick with the stretching but do it slowly

[UnholyConfessions]

I have same problem, doctor told me to go see a specialist in a month. If it comes to it he will snip the frenulum so it is looser so the foreskin can retract.

You won't need circumcision.
