foreskin stuck to glans
Posted: 04-24-08 16:31pm

Ill give you guys a little backstory. When I was say 5 years old I developed a horrible infection on my penis which resulted in my doctor having to squeeze the puss out with his hands manually, which possibly could have injured it, or perhaps it was just the infection who knows.

Anyway, I believe I have phimosis. My foreskins is stuck to my glans if you follow the midline from the bottom. I am uncircumsized. For this reason I always thought that an uncircumsized penis is normally like that. But I recently discovered that even normally uncircumsized males can reveal the glans entirely.

I can't do this. I tried to pull it back further than its ever been, and I discovered a solid white build up in several places. I cleaned it as best as I could with warm soapy water, but I know for sure that there is more down there, I just cant pull my foreskin back.

Help me Sad I've considered going to a doctor, but I really dont wanna go through another genitalia related procedure so soon. Please give some suggestions as to what the most is that I can do, as the certified owner of a male penis.

I know how you feel. I'm possibly going to have to see my Doctor for a second penis-related topic soon as well. It's not a great feeling to go into his surgery and pull your pants down thats for sure!

But... it must be done, unfortunately you really ought to go and see your Doctor. It's not a nice thing to hear but the chances are you have Phimosis and you might need an operation (Either a circumcision or a Preputioplasty - making a slit in the foreskin). If you're feeling brave enough take a bath and see how far you can pull it back. It can be painful and don't overdo it but it could save an embarassing doctors appointment if you find it's just tight. If you do manage to pull it back google some stretching exercises and just see how loose you can get it.

You're better going to the Doctors really though.

thats good advice TightForeskinGuys has given.. see the doc and tell him the full story.. I'd have a go in the bath but don't go too far - if it hurts stop!

But if you go to the docs.. remember your not alone ;] I had to go when I was 7 as my foreskin was so tight it was hard to pee.. I started stretching techniques and now I can pull it all the way back when I jack-off

^ Uh, no.

There are many other options, as some people have stated.

Unfortunately your best bet is to see a doctor about this. I know that having someone prod at your genitals isn't exactly the best thing in the world, but I assure you, it'll be worth it when you can stay clean. Plus, you're running the risk of another infection or complications with smegma (the white buildup) and other factors (accidental tearing etc.)

Yeah, to the guy who suggested circumcision... no. There are so many reasons why having a foreskin is preferable, including DUN DUN DUN sex-related reasons for both the guy and the girl.

Anyway, to be honest, it sounds like a buildup of smegma. Yeah, probably not something you wanted to be told, haha. But, considering you've never pulled it back before, that means you've never cleaned it properly. It's possible that that is why you can't pull it back, in which case, keep cleaning it. It's possible that the buildup of smega has led to balanitis, another possible reason you can't pull the foreskin back. If this is the case, you should see your doctor.

The other possibility (or maybe both things are contributing) is that you have a tight foreskin. In this case, stretching is an option. Just search Google. Sounds scary but it's REALLY not a big deal, and not painful. Many guys who have a short/tight foreskin do it. In fact, if it's just a bit tight, just gently stretch it the bath every so often... it can take weeks of time, as you are doing it very gradually, so be patient.

if you don't have to don't get circumsized. i had elected to have it done at 23 yrs and i regret it to this day. do you actually think that us guys are all born with foreskins only to later have it removed---i think not. trouble is some guys were never taught since childhood to pull the foreskin back so that it would become more flexible. after 23 yrs for a while i noticed a big differnece in sexual arousal and like i said i miss my foreskin. lastly, dr's no longer recommend it in the us and it is considered elective surgery and not covered by insurance. ask any guys from abroad and you will find "gettingcut" is not routinely done.
