Phimosis: Stretching Foreskin vs. Circumcision

Well, after seeing one doctor that said to
try stretching which I feel didn't work,
and another that said go for circumcision,
I may try stretching my foreskin again
because I don't know if I want to go
through with a circumcision.
I can say from reading on the Internet
that i've seen Phimosis cases much worse
and tighter that mine.
The only thing I can't stand is touching
the head of my penis. I try stretching and
then if I even touch the head by accident
for a second I can't stand it. Its so
sensitive that it almost hurts to touch
it.

Are you using lube when you stretch? That
can help reduce the sensitivity of the
head of the penis and make it hurt less if
you touch it.

No... But today I tried stretching after
masturbating so it was still lubed up, and
it seemed easier to stretch. I was able to
pull back the skin further than ever but
even then its not a huge improvement.
Is it possible to cure tight foreskin from
stretching but then have your skin tighten
up again?

I don't think the skin becomes tight
again; the stretching is permanent.

There's also a cream that can be
prescribed to help with a tight foreskin.
I think it's either steriod or estrogen
cream.
Look for a foreskin-friendly doctor if you
don't find success in stretching it
yourself. Many doctors in the US (even
now) are being taught nothing about the
foreskin in medical school - they're only
taught how to chop it off. 
Just be as gentle as possible when
stretching. If you overdo it you could
cause some tearing. Sounds like using
lube helps a bit. You could also try
sitting in a warm bath for 15+ minutes
before trying to stretch it.

Well my father will be taking me to see a
doctor in a few hours, I think hes a
urologist actually...
I just really hope he can give me good
advice on what to do, after looking more
into circumcision I REALLY don't want to
go through with it. It just seems like
such a horrible procedure. I couldn't
stand having a surgeon chop off a part of
my penis and go through pain after, then
have crappy sex for the rest of my life.

Wow this issue is making me so damn
depressed.
The doctor I went to didn't really help
very much... He said i'll have to get cut
and when I asked about stretching all he
said was it might not work in my case.
I feel so messed up... I can't believe I
have to go through with circumcision.

Circumcision is not the end of the world!
It actually works a lot cleaner and better
on older guys because the penis is larger
and the foreskin is already detached.
Plus, you will finally have a properly
functioning penis. A lot of men are
circumcised.

Wow... I really think I won't have to go
for circumcision.
I can't believe it... I did some
stretching last night then pulled the skin
back. I did the same just right now and
i've never exposed so much of my glans
before. I just kept pulling back and the
skin actually went further down as I
pulled but just enough so it didn't hurt
or anything.
If this is the progress i'm getting from
just 2 days then I really think I can cure
this myself within 1-2 months.
I'm going to get the cream back from my
doctor because I lost my old one. I really
hope this works out. The only problem I
have is touching the glans, its just too
sensitive.

My plan is to keep pulling it back
everynight and eventually, if I am able to
pull it back completely while flaccid,
then I will leave the foreskin pulled back
and just leave it there so I can just
adjust a bit.
Once I lose the painful sensitivity of my
glans while flaccid, it will stay that way
while errect right? If so, then I plan to
lose the sensitivity first before actually
trying to do more stretching while errect.
I feel it will be much easier this way.

Yes. Once you lessen the sensitivity it
will be like that flaccid or hard.
