Phimosis symptoms Posted: 05-25-08 07:02am
Well since I got no reply in the mens
conditions forum, I thought I'd post this
here and see if I get a response:
I think my boyfriend has phimosis, because
he can't pull his foreskin back when his
penis is erect. I don't know if it will go
back when flaccid. We have normal sex and
he doesn't feel any pain, unless he pulls
it right back he says it gets painful. I
have noticed after sex when he pulls out
of me the foreskin has restracted a bit,
not fully, and the top looks kind of
swollen or kind of like it's being
strangled. That's the best way I can put
it. He says that doesn't hurt either. If
we have normal sex and he doesn't feel any
pain, does he need to see someone about
it?

I'm not sure exactly, but if its causing
problems or pain then thats a reason to
get it looked at.

Lion79--
The foreskin can be too tight and still
retract from the head when erect. If it is
having trouble sliding back when having
sex and is red and swollen after pulling
out, then phimosis is probably indicated.
But there are varying degrees of
phimosis.
Find out from him if he has any trouble
with the foreskin when flaccid or
masturbating and, if he doesn't, then he
probably does need to see a urologist.
They do have creams that he can apply
which will stretch the skin or he may need
a circumcision depending on the diagnosis.
That's why a doctor needs to see what
course of treatment would be the best.
Good luck.
