Balanitis (infection On Head of Penis)
Posted: 12-07-03 10:55am

Ok heres my story about this... Got pains in the head of my penis, almost like over sensitive to touch. Really hurt to urinate, I almost passed out a few times it was so painful, and had a nasty white/green discharge which stunk quite a bit. Anyway, the doctor diagnosed it as balanitis, the head of my penis was infected because I hadn't been able to clean under the foreskin (never been able to retract it). He give me some antibiotics and suggested I have a circumsicion or get my foreskin stretched. I am gutted, I have never confronted this problem, never spoken to anyone about it, and I am scared to death of hospitals. I told him I would have to think about it, just the thought of having no foreskin really scares me, going in for the operation scares me more, and telling my parents... Well thats just even more embarrasing.

Anyway this post is just to maybe help some people with the same problem and to also help me. I think my foreskin is connected to the head of my penis as well as being too tight, is there any way they can stretch it in this condition or would they generally go for a straight on circumsicion? Also what does being circumsized feel like? I imagine it to be really sensitive even when its just in your pants. After the op is it painful?

Last few days have been the worst days of my life really, im gutted and still havent told my parents about him wanting to refer me to hospital to sort my foreskin.

Sorry if this seems muddled, im pretty muddled myself right now Sad

Think its possible to just gradually stretch it, just try to pull it a little bit everyday
and see if in a while u can pull it over a bit more than before, and then keep on doing that, dont pull 2 hard tho!


If not, just get circumzised, I dont think its a big deal, and your head "just being in ur pants" musnt hurt at all since most men are circumsized
