i can't pull my foreskin back all the way when erect and it has started to become uncomfortable. do i need Circumcision? is there another cure?
As an older man this problem developed for me later in life. It had a big effect on my sex life as it was very painful and I even blamed my partner for the discomfort!. I looked up the symptons on the internet, realised it was common and quite normal and went straight to my doctor. 2 years on from a circumcision (no big deal)things have never been better and I regret not seeing the doctor earlier. In my case circumcision was the only option but there are simpler solutions for less severe cases.”
Mitch: So many younger men have this problem. When you have a hot bath or shower gently but firmly retract your foreskin little by little. Shower gel or soap will help. If you make this a regular routine you should find that the foreskin will loosen. I had the same problem in my early teens and it has worked for me. Mine now slides backwards and forwards easily. If, however, yours continues to be painful, see your GP.”
