My checkup

So everyone thanks for the advice I took it and met a GP and I explained to him about my foreskin not being able to re attract behind the glands when erect but when it isn’t erect and floppy I am able to re attract it behind the glands and he seemed very sure all I had to do was the salt water method which really confused me as I have came to you guys, So do you know what he means like what I have to do? How much salt do I use do I have to stretch the foreskin I’m very confused and hope you guys can help as I’m not sure how this is going to be able to re attract the foreskin behind my glands?

I have not heard of the salt water method of dealing with a tight foreskin. Did you ask him what that was?

Yes he was saying to bath it twice a day in salt water and water and only said I have tight foreskin. Does this help?

Sound like your Doctor has very poor communication skills - perhaps you should get back in touch to clarify?

Nope. I am still as confused as you are! I would follow MystHawk's advice.

Never heard of stretching the foreskin with saltwater method or general water. I guess you should have a second consultation with a urologist or another GP before committing to the current method told by your general physician

I think you should call him and clarify whether he used phimosis and tight foreskin interchangeably, if he did so I guess you are better off going to a urologist as they are more experienced

the salt water advice was about washing it not stretching

Lots of practice and patience will stretch the foreskin, it took me years to get it back with no tautness or pain.

Oh ok what age were you when you were able to retrieve it behind the glands? And how many years did it take?
