Hey everyone.

I have a phimosis and I have been stretching it now for the past couple of months as I was waiting to see a urologist. My phimosis is not that severe. When my penis is flaccid I can easily retract the foreskin. The problem is when I get erect then the skin becomes tighter and I CAN retract the foreskin but it feels really awkward and uncomfortable and I end up losing my erection.

Well i visited a urologist a couple days ago and he basically said you can either try stretching it out, or get a circumcision. I really really DONT WANT a circumcision. So he gave me HYRDOCORTISONE CREAM 1% I don't know if any of you had success with this cream, but maybe some of you have.

Anyway, I am gonna try using this stuff for like a month... Hopefully it works!

And can anyone tell me the best way to use this cream? Should I use it when I have an errection and pull the skin back as much as I can and then apply the cream and do the regular stretching exercises?

phimosis tight foreskin cure stretch
Try looking at books about "tight foreskin facts" or "gentle foreskin stretcher" phimosis cures, they all have good information about gentle foreskin stretching and use of steriod cream.

Based on feedback from readers and users, it seems to me that if you want to avoid circumcision then try the fast genetle alternatives that are abound. There is a steel calliper that works and a gentle phimosis balloon stretcher called GFS or Platigo or something similar.

My Doctor stretched my foreskin with a medical balloon and a syringe. I haven't looked back, but my current partner was not so lucky, he tried the manual method and cut himself. He also now has scar tissue, so he might be too late. Any way - let's see.

All the best.

My friend...
My friend had this problem and told me how he cured it in his late teens.

Are you aware of the tribes that stretch their lips or earlobes with weights? Well this technique does not involve weights you'll be glad to hear but it does involve stretching. The common DIY technique that men use to solve this problem is by trying to repeatedly pull their foreskin back and over their, well, helmet, but this can cause further irritation, damage and even worsen the problem. My friend was advised by his Doctor to try the following:

Get some glass marbles (obviously without any chips or cracks..very important.!) of various sizes. Wash your chosen marble size, then sterilize it using TCP or a similar solution. Then using Bio oil or even olive oil, massage the foreskin inside and out, place the marble on the opening of your urethra and roll the foreskin as far as you can up and over the marble and hold it for about a minute while gently massaging the skin that now covers the marble. It's a good idea to get the marble as warm as is comfortable. Repeat this each day and do not do it if it hurts, if it does, use a smaller marble, you should feel only a light stretching sensation. The marble will gradually stretch the skin and importantly, into the correct shape. Finally, keep your foreskin 'oiled up' periodically throughout the day while you are doing this treatment and never overstretch it when you are. It 'must' be a gradual process

My friend did this for about 3 or 4 weeks ( i seem to remember) and he increased the marble size as he went. He's never had phimosis since

Don't get it cut off! Their are thousands of nerve endings in the foreskin that increase sexual pleasure, and I'm sure you don't want to loose those

Hope this helps...
