Won't Retract

[Jozefk]

I am a male aged 55 years of age and up until about a year ago, I experienced no foreskin problems at all.

For nearly a year now, I have been unable to retract my foreskin, so I can clean my penis whilst showering.

My penis is not swollen, sore or hurts in any way at all, it just will not retract.

I have not been to see a doctor because despite my age, I would still find the experience of discussing the matter with him/her, embarrassing.

Has anybody experienced similar problems and maybe have some tips/hints for me to try?

Many Thanks..

You need to get over your embarrassment and see a doctor. Without knowing what is causing the problem it is impossible to know what the solution is for you. A solution guessed at could make your problem worse. It is highly unlikely that the doctor has never seen a patient’s penis.

Yes I suppose you are right.

I shall have to make an appointment.

Many Thanks for the advice.

It’s obviously worrying you, so get a check up for reassurance at least.

Hi you will need to have a check up with you doctor. there is something causing your problem. No need to be embarrassed at all.

Hi, yes I'm 54 and had the same problem. Sounds like you have Phimosis. It can occasionally get better with Steroid Creams but usually the only cure is circumcision. I had mine done 4 weeks ago so if you need any advice drop me a line. Happy to chat. Craig.

I had that until my early 20's then I read an article or somewhere (well before the internet). Try putting your two forefingers inside the end of the foreskin and stetch it a little day by day without overding it. It took about a week or so but one day I could retract it, felt a bit strange at first. Like raw meat! but then you have the choice how to wear your hoodie up or down. Makes masturbation more pleasurable.
