Unusual Tight Foreskin...
Posted: 07-26-04 01:32am

Hi, my name is steven and im 22 years old. Well, I have tight foreskin since I was a kid till now. Suprisingly I got no problem with it. There's no itch, swell or what-so-ever. Passing water with no problem even though the opening is small. I usually dip my penis in warm water when taking my bath.

Well, i've been going through the internet for treatment if necessary. Found a couple of articles, and some said that phimosis (tight foreskin) may lead to cancer. Man, is this true? Coz it got me worried now. Of course I cant really pull back my foresking to see my glans and wash it as well. Even during erection, I dont feel any discomfort, but only my foreskin wont go back. Should I go for the cut or shouldnt i? In terms of stretching my foreskin, im kinda afraid to it coz I may hurt it.

Pls help...

Try "bio-oil" and gently stretch the skin a tiny bit each day (preferably do this several times a day) and over the course of a few weeks/months you should notice it is getting easier to pull back a bit more each time.

Hello

Hello seven
i will be 20 in a couple of months and I suffer from an identical problem. I too have done a great deal of reading on the subject. In many cases that I have read if the foreskin has been tight for as long as you can remember this indicates that development may not have yet finished. I know this sounds strange and may seem out of the question. I understand that waiting may not be an option any longer as you would like to have the problem resolved. Remember that radial circumcision is gradually becoming an outdated and unneccesary procedure which can be traumatic and lead to desensitisation. Obviously you must draw your own decision. I am aware of alternative treatments, such as the use of topical steroid cream, however I think this is related to phimosis due to a condition known as bxo and may not be relevant to your particular circumstances. I hope this has been of help to you. Any input from yourself would be welcome. Try this website for some relevant and helpfull information

Hi People!
my name is, coincidently, also stephen. I'm only 14 and havn't fully developed but nearly i think. within the last 6 months i have realized that i have this problem. i hadn't realized that this was a problem because i could materbate fine but then hearing one of my friends talk about sex related stuff i realized that maybe i should be able to retract it. so this lead me to check out this problem on the internet and have found out pretty much what has been said already although saying that i didn't realize you had to wash the inside until today. i am seriously scared to tell anyone about this except people i don't know on the internet so basically i need some advise on it. e.g how to i make it 'untight', when and how without people finding out.

thanks allot

Hi Stephen,

It's been a while since my original reply on here. The best advice I can give you is go to and see your doctor (you dont need to let anyone know you are going). Shortly after my post above I plucked up the courage to go and it was definitely the right decision. All that it entailed was me explaining to the doc what the problem was and literally a quick 10 second examination. Depending on how tight it is the cure may be different, however my doctor suggested circumcision. This may sound terrifying but I assure you it was not as bad as you would think and it was definitely the right thing to do for me. If I could have had it done when I was your age I would have.

I would however speak to a family member (older brother, father etc) as this is what I did and it helped A LOT.

I know this was possibly not the quick fix you were looking for but I have not had a single regret since.

Best of luck
