I would see a urologist if possible.

Firstly if your under 18 its normal for some not being able to retract.. if its abnormally tight you can stretch with steroid creams. Absolutely no need for surgery.. Also warm baths and showers pull on your foreskin as much as you can without it being painful. Do that as often as possible and your skin will stretch out.

I would respectfully disagree and perhaps Dr could help if you don’t try other measures. Your parents should, in my experience should have started teaching you penis heath and retracting it around age 3-4. Now, do as others suggest and slowly try stretching and read article by Osidge -good luck

I only disagree as I had several issues and no choice but circumcision, my experience.

in reply tokjohn374

But do whatever you can to prevent a medical circumcision. If needed, you may have no choice. Good luck.

yes u are right man if circ is needed than there is no other way go see a doctor...and finally NO PAIN NO GAIN BRO!:)

Do not get circumcised. What person would want less of a penis unless they really needed to. Some men have a tighter foreskin than others. If you can pull it back when soft then you can wash it each day and also when you urinate. If it's tight when erect then don't stress. Just pull it back gently a little more each day. Don't force it though as this can cause issues. After a few weeks it should move freely. Sex is better when the foreskin can go up and back freely.

Not what you're looking for?
