Foreskin won't retract when erect Posted: 01-23-08 01:56am
Hello
I am 28 years old and have a problem with
my foreskin. I can retract it when my
penis is not erect, but since my foreskin
is long, when I get fully erect, my
foreskin still covers almost my entire
penis. I try to slide it back but it is
very tight. I tried using a lubricant but
it did not help - I still could not
retract the foreskin at all. When I try
entering a toy vagina I have, I could not
force an entry since the foreskin does not
glide much.
My question is - should I immediately go
see a urologist? I do not have a primary
physician and I am so embarrassed to go to
a urology clinic. But I realize it is a
big issue.
So, can I directly go see a urologist? Is
it common to go without any general doctor
referral for such a case? Sorry for the
dumb question, it is just that it is
really embarassing...
Thanks
Bruce

It sounds like a classic case of phimosis.
I have the same problem but the foreskin
pretty-much sits still therefore there's
no pain during penetration. I'll probably
need a circumcision because of this but in
your case at least you can retract it when
it's flaccid. A doctor or urologist might
prescribe you some steroid cream in order
to let the foreskin become more flexible.

actually, there are many alternative
solutions other than a circumcision. this
can be rectified within 2 weeks. all u
need to do is stretch the foreskin down
over the head of the penis as far as it
will go without it hurting too much. hold
this for about 30 seconds and the let go.
repeat this for about 5 mins. try to do
this 2 to 3 times a day. after about 1 - 2
weeks your foreskin should fully retract.
i had this problem and it worked for me.
good luck.
