[amarjeetnegi64]

Hi , my age is 24 and I have a really tight Foreskin. I am thinking of circumcision but beige that I want your openions that if my foreskin isusue can be resolved thorough medication.

I have this swollen foreskin tip having white thin layer.. Sometimes when I am not hard I can pull back my foreskin down but it starts to pain as it gets erect again.

And can someone tell me how to post pics? So that it would be better to understand my situation.. thanks

You might be able to solve the problem with stretching exercises using a steroid cream prescribed by your doctor. nhs.uk/conditions/phimosis/

I would treat circumcision as a last resort. There a lot of options before circumcision unless that’s what you want?

Hello Amat,I too have tightness of my foreskin but it’s only been recently that it has happened. When I was your age I had no problem with pulling my foreskin back and always cleaning thoroughly. I think mine is related to the onset of type 2 diabetes.

My email is [e-mail] if you would like to exchange pics since it’s not allowed on this forum.

Definitely start with stretching then move on to steroid creams, your Doc' can advise what best for you. If it not to bad then this can work. I would leave Surgery as a last option but keep it in mind. If you are in pain or really worried defo' go see Doc'.

Good Luck

I'm 21 and I personally I tried a couple of prescribed steroid creams but they had no effect at all so I reluctantly opted for circumcision. I'm currently on day 10 post op and throughout the entire process I've barely experienced any pain whatsoever which surprised me. You do however experience a good bit of discomfort since it's not used to being exposed and I'm definitely glad I went for it. If you opt for general anesthetic you're under for about an hour- the procedure takes around 30 mins. If you opt for local, you're practically in and out. I know a circumcision sounds like a big deal and I thought that too at first but it's honestly so simple and the recovery process is hassle free (minus the annoying discomfort when first wearing underwear)
