Doctor or products?

Been having this for a while now (12 Mths+) but is bothering me as maybe restarting some kind of sex life, yay! When erect am finding it difficult to pull back the foreskin, sometimes ending in a small tear, ouch. When pulled back in anything other than fully flaccid it is like a tight ring around the base of the glands. No obvious sign of infection. Haven’t tried any products. Been hoping being careful and gentle massage (!) would help but don’t think it will. Doctor or products? Thanks for listening; first time poster.

You need to see a doctor who may prescribe a steroid cream to use alongside foreskin stretching exercises.

Pay attention to what Osidge suggested and look at the website he put forward.I am not a doctor, but clean under your foreskin as best you can to avoid an infection.

Don't force your foreskin back.

If it is painful, something is wrong and don't pull it back any further.

A tear in the foreskin could scar over and make foreskin tightness worse.

Also, circumcision should only be considered as a last resort, when all else has failed.

Don't be rushed or bullied into a circumcision.

You are the one who will have to live with the consequences, not the doctor.

If you decide on circumcision, make sure you have thought about it long and hard and have read up on it so you know what May be ahead of you.

Best of luck
