Glans painful when foreskin is pulled back Posted: 02-04-08 17:35pm
Hi, I am a 16 year old guy currently
experiencing problems with the glans part
of the penis. What I am asking may well be
common knowledge (however I have not heard
anything about this) so please efrain from
shooting me down.
I am uncircumcised, and struggle to
reveal the "head" of the penis as the
foreskin is quit tight, however once it is
revealed it is incredibly uncomfortable to
touch and slightly painful. I was
wondering whether this is a normal
experience and whether it would eventually
become painless to touch. It is not a
pressing issue for me at the moment as my
girlfriend is away for several months but
any help woul be greatly appreciated.
Than you in advance.

There's a chance that you may have a
degree of phimosis (foreskin that doesn't
retract). In extreme cases you may need a
surgical operation to fix this but if you
go to a doctor, there's a chance you may
be prescribed topical steroid cream in
order to gradually loosen the foreskin. If
the foreskin is tight, and generally
covered all the time, the glans will
naturally be more sensitive because it
remains unexposed. Once the foreskin
becomes easily retractable or removed
entirely, the sensitivity will reduce over
the course of a number of weeks.

the glans is very, very sensitive, and it
is common for it to hurt if touched or
simulated without any sort of lubrication.
Try using a water based lubricant and see
if it hurts then.
