For guys uncut

[Jay3112]

My foreskin doesn't retract fully and its painful if I pull it back

Is this normal or do I need to see a doctor?

Thanks

How old are you? Some guys get a problem with this early in puberty, but with regular, gentle stretching exercises it can usually be sorted out. Sometimes its necessary for your doctor to prescribe a steroid cream, and in cases of extreme tightness you may end up needing to be circumcised. But that's unusual, the stretching exercises will normally do the trick. Its worth checking with your doctor, UK doctors will always try to avoid suggesting cutting if they can and will give you the best advice.

We I'm circumcised, but I do know from reading a lot of these posts that there are certain exercises so to speak to loosen the foreskin. One that is mentioned is to try pull it up while in the shower (hot shower). Another exercise which apparently increases skin elasticity, is just slowly working the foreskin back while erect. Though gotta give to time, it will hurt, but eventually after working it back it should be pain free.

Good Luck

James at 16 you should be getting over this, its worth checking with your doctor. Dont be embarassed about it, he will be used to it even if you arent.
