Do I have a problem with my penis? Am I suffering Phimosis?

Hey formertechno34, pull it back- you can't hurt anything. PULL, touch, wank, enjoy. That's what it's there for! And watch out for the docs, they'll cut for a quick and easy $$$$$$s. I can't count the number of docs who've told me to get circumcised. I'm still whole, happy, and sexy as hell!

 

Formertechno- there are two other things you can do re your foreskin - buy some hydrocortizone cream at the drugstore and rub it on your foreskin which should loosen it up somewhat. Also, you could pour baby oil or olive oil into the hole in your foreskin so it lubricates your glans, which may allow you to retract it. Be sure to clean underneath the foreskin well after doing this, perhaps with a soak in a hot bath.

A recent study of 545 boys, half cut and half not, aged four months to 12 years, found that 14% of uncut boys had had foreskin problems, versus 6% of cut bpys who had various penile problems, and uncut boys were twice as likely to see a doctor regardng these problems.

 

If you're going to quote stats you really should provide the link to where you grabbed the numbers from

 

The study is in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and is entitled "The frequency of foreskin problems in uncircumcised children", by L. W. Herzog and S. R. Alvarez. I don't know how to attach it.

 

Listen to them.
Please don't be afraid to talk to your mother, I sure would want my 15 year old ss to feel free to talk to me about something that's bothering him like that.

You sure this technique works? Olive oil?!

 

Formertechno34 - olive oil is good for your skin. It is often used for massages, and it makes the skin more flexible. Try it first when masturbating - it is the smoothest thing you will every find (although it is a little messy). Much of it is absorbed into your skin.

The same thing could work on the underside of your foreskin and the glans - by making it a little more slippery, it should be easier to retract it. But do it gently, don't force it, and wash yourself well afterwards. Not having a complete foreskin (I have a "loose cut", with much of the foreskin still intact), I can't say definitively that it will work on you, but it should be harmless to try. Cutted

 

Hi!!!! Sorry for the lateness..haha. Anyways ya, I tried it(put olive oil)! It didn't went fully down but it improved quite alot. Should I continue putting olive oil when I masturbate? Perhaps that's the way to retract it FULLY. But there's another problem, I didn't dare to touch the foreskin. But it's weird, when I drop water on it, it doesn't hurt or anything. Anyways, thanks so much!

 

Hi guys, just want to let you know (even if some don't care) that I will go to the doctor this monday. I was supposed to go today but his hours are avaible only when I'm at school which I can't go. But anyways, monday I can, so I will let you know what he tells me about my problem by monday. Until that time, take care everyone!

 

I care! I'm glad things are going so much better. If you're still having trouble fully retracting, ask the doctor for some steroid cream. This should get it to retract the rest of the way.

 

The steroid cream you mention might help but what I'm really concerned is when I touch my foreskin, it's very sensitive and it hurts. That's my real problem.. . I hope there is some cure to that.

 

Hi guys!! I'm back from the doctor!! Good news!! I don't have phimosis or anything that can harm me(infection, bacteria etc.). It seems the problem is I have a small Frenulum, that's all. He said when I'm erect and I masturbate, does it hurt? I said no..he said then your all okay, your normal, he said you wouldn't have a problem with sex then. He said if you want your foreskin to go more down, I have to go to another docter in which he could cut my Frenulum. Also about when I touch my foreskin and it hurts, he gave me a cream which I have to rub on my foreskin and it will get better. He also told me I don't need circumcision so everything's okay. Well that's the end of this problem, thanks everyone for your encouragement and replies, thanks to you Cutted, you cheered me alot!

 

That's great news! Keep us updated if you decide to get your frenulum clipped. I've heard that it's kind of like when a kid with tongue-tie gets it clipped, though I'm sure it hurts more because there's more tissue involved. Let us know how it goes if you do it!

 

I don't really know if I'm gonna do it..I doubt it. But anyways, I'm just glad there's really nothing serious with my penis. Thanks again for your post!

So...I'm 18 and my foreskin barely peels back at all. I can only get it to go back a miniscule amount more with a large amount of pain. Where does that put me? Apparently by 18 this problem should be gone.

 

Wait, what can you tell me about the Frenulum thing the other guy was talking about?

 

i have the same problem as you... sort of i can pull my foreskin down but i cannot reveal my full crown, head or glans watever you want to call it but i need to know how to solve it

 

If the problem is that you cannot pull the foreskin over the glans because it is too tight, it may be solved by gentle stretching of the foreskin, after putting hydrocortizone cream on the glans and the underside of the foreskin. The cream is available over the counter in any pharmacy. Sometimes the problem will resolve itself naturally as you mature, but at age 18 you should be able to retract it easily. If the problem is not cured by gentle stretching for a month or two, you may need a circumcision, because sex will not be as enjoyable in your current condition.

Another possibility, as was the case with Formertechno, is that you have a too short frenulum, the stringy thing in the "inverted v" on the underside of the glans, which prevents the foreskin from fully retracting when the penis is erect. This is resolved by a frenuloplasty, a minor outpatient operation.

If you have a close relationship with your father, confide in him about your problem, as it is often hereditary. He will be very sympathetic, and will help you get treatment.
