phimosis symptoms ?
Posted: 05-03-08 18:03pm

Hello. I am a male in my twenties and always had this problem. I can't fully retract my foreskin when the penis is erected, while I can when it isn't. I have sexual relations just fine with this problem but would much rather being "normal". I haven't visited a doctor yet about it because I'm afraid they would only suggest circumcision.

Here are pictures when it's erected and when it's not. WARNING: genitalia pictures.

Erected: Trying to retract the skin any further is very painful

Not erected: I can retract the skin by pushing a little bit, doesn't really hurt

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

It could well be Phimosis. Is it just circumcision you are against or any operation? I had a similar problem and wasn't keen on being circumcised. The doctor recommended a Preputioplasty which is when a slit is made in the foreskin. You keep pretty much all of your foreskin and there is little scarring.

I'm against circumcision. I would be ok with an operation if I could keep my skin and it wouldn't be loose when not erected.

I will ask my doctor about Preputioplasty if he recommends only circumcision.

Thank you.
