Phimosis at 15

[Bailfletch]

I'm 15 years of age, and can pull my foreskin back over the glans when erect, even though it does hurt. After it's pulled back it feels stuck behind the head and I can't push it back up and I can't move my foreskin any more past my glans as it hurts to try. Is this normal or do I need medical help?

You can go to your doctor and they will probably give you hydrocortisone 2% cream. This usually works by relaxing the tight band of tissue in the foreskin. It can take a few months to work fully. I had a tight foreskin and it worked for me but you have to persevere. You can also buy hydrocortisone 1% cream at a pharmacy or in most large supermarkets. If you're unsure best to see your doctor. Circumcision is a last resort.

Sometimes you may need the stronger cream such as betnovate

Try with hydrocortisone creams . If it doesn't hurt while retracting frontwards it will not have any problem during intercourse . Rather lubricants will ease movement and partner may get pleasure early as the gliding on labia majora will accelerate orgasm if mentally she is ready . Relax now unless you have problem

It's not normal but it IS a rare condition which afflicts some males. Thankfully, your erection eventually subsides into a flaccid state, leaving your foreskin able to return to its natural position, covering and protecting your glans.

I suffered exactly the same experience as you - paraphimosis. But in my case it was in adulthood, following sexual intercourse with my wife. This was 15 years ago when today's solutions were not the first port of call. I made an appointment with my GP and after examination she referred me to a urologist for circumcision without a second thought. I now live with a crippled penis.

So please take the advice of others who have replied to you.

Hi mate. I had a similar experience. At the time it seemed frightening. Trying to force a tight foreskin back over an erect penis was painful and difficult. I just waited till I went flaccid and let my skin roll back naturally. As my 4skin got looser the problem disappeared just by gently pulling it over my knob end in a warm bath. Take care.
