I have phimosis, need some help......?!


Question:

I have phimosis, need some help......?

i'm around 17 years old now, and my foreskin cant retract to the back of the penis head yet. i'm worried the older i get, its gonna get harder to retract it. I've been streching the foreskin back(sumtimes during masturbation) almost everyday now for the past 2-3 weeks, but the max i can strech it is to the middle of the penis head, then it starts to tighten and it hurts a bit. Is this normal??? Will it get better and loosen up if i keep doing it?? i would like 2 get answers n advice frm those who hav gone thru this same prob and also others who know bout this matter too....and 1 more thing, i strongly dont want to undergo circumcision.......i know its better in many ways but i dont prefer....unless its really necessary........


Answers:

You don't need circumcision. I've gone through this and I'm pretty sure it took me over 3 weeks for everything to be well. But eventually everything got perfect (I haven't had problems since). If you are really tight, you can always get a cream. I posted this in another thread, but it should have what you're looking for.

Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).

And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.

If you have questions, e-mail me from my profile since I've gone through this. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
