Q: Phimosis and penis growth problems
asked by: TightForeskinGuys on June 2nd, 2008

I had an operation last year to help treat my Phimosis and I can now full retract my penis.

My question is, Can Phimosis stunt the growth of the penis?

I just feel that my Phimosis may have restricted the growth as the skin on the shaft bunches below the head. Is it likely that this skin would've been stretched along the shaft when fully grown or is it just... extra skin?

I'm not particularly looking for a treatment because other than some Swiss device i doubt there are penis enlargers encouraged by the health service. I'm more just interested if it was possible and if a lady friend was to question the size of my penis i could explain it to her. I've not measured but I don't think it's longer than 5 inches which i hear is the average.

Sorry to double post but,

I've since measured my penis and it's 5.1 inches when not erect and 6.3 inches when erect. Oh, and I'm 18 years old.

By the way,

I also get a lot of erections. Often random and at embarassing times (I think people are catching on to the fact that I mysteriously keep my hand in my pocket at odd times - when I'm trying to make it less noticable). Is it likely that the tight foreskin was/is (I still have tight foreskin as discussed in another thread) contributing to the amount of erections?

the fact that you have phimosis probably does give you more erections by putting more pressure on your penis - not sure if it stunts the growth. I am a 27 yr old male who has tight foreskin, i'm only 3" soft and 5.5" erect
