What should i do for this problem cause i dont know if its my fault or if this will affect my sexual life in the future.I am really worried please help me!

Maybe see your GP, or just pull it back gradually until it does what it should do, Anyway at your age you should only stirring your cup of tea with it and don't worry about the young ladies I'm sure they will still be when you finish your schooling.

Good luck.

I was the same as you at your age, but my mum found out took me to the doctors and had to strip down naked in front of my mum which the doctor did a Full examination of the of My penis and foreskin (very embarrassing) and said that it would get better as I grew up which my foreskin did lossen and by the time I was sixteen if not then go back to the doctors and without your mum! You can worry about sex when you hit sixteen

Generally agree with the the other comments. When you have bath/shower gently pull and stretch the skin. If this is no help over a long period of time go and see your Doctor when you are old enough to see him on your own.

Providing you have good hygiene anyway this should not be a problem that cannot wait. If there are any other symptoms, soreness/discharge etc or you feel you cannot wait, go and visit your local STD clinic. Do not worry, it does not mean you have or need a disease to visit. Alternately you could visit your GP on your own, but will need a chaperone of some sort.

Good Luck and do not worry.

If you go to the doctor you could request a steroid cream and try stretching or the surgery route.

Normally doctors suggest circumcision for your condition. But I am not sure about

and very likely over time with persistent effort you could succeed in achieving the desired result as you grow older.

The main thing is not to worry. It is VERY VERY unlikely that this is a long-term problem or something that will affect your sex life when older. Read this - and if you can talk to someone older about how you're feeling so much the better:

Dear MisterObvious. I'm 53. I'm Nick and I'm a medical doctor; unfortunately I do not practise medicine and I'm not a specialist of the genital apparatus. I'm a researcher. When I was a child I had your problem. I have a son (he's now 14), and when he was a child had your problem. Neither of us needed surgery. So it is possible that your problem will be sorted out naturally with time. However, I think that, at your age, the foreskin should have become large enough to allow your glans to be fully uncovered in flaccid or erect state. So my advice is to go to your general practitioner or even to your paediatrist if you still have one. They will tell you if you can simply wait that the problem would be sorted out naturally, or advice you some "gymnastics" for your foreskin, some creams, or they could advice you that surgery could be your case. Even in that case, don't worry. Fully circumcision (ablation of the whole forskin) is NOT the only option. There are today several surgical methodologies less aggressive than full circumcision. And, if at last full circumcision were necessary for you, DON'T WORRY. A circumcised penis is absolutely full functional as an uncircumcised one. It is true that you lose your foreskin (and consequently probably a part of your sensitivity, it is discussed). But on the other hand, your glans will develop a slightly thicker skin, so that you should sense less the urge for ejaculation during sexual intercourse: you could become a splendid, very lasting lover! Very appreciated by girls and women! A simple advice that can be given to men who suffer from precocious ejaculation is: try to wear your glans uncovered in your pants: the stress that the pants will do on your glans will induce the formation of slightly thicker skin, so that you will sense less the urge to ejaculate. So, in that sense, full circumcision could protect you from the disturb of precocious ejaculation.

There are clues that circumcised men are less susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases (less susceptible, NOT IMMUNE OR FULLY PROTECTED). But anyway, it can be an advantage!

You can be also reassured that your penis after full circumcision surgery will have an absolutely natural aspect both when flaccid or erect. It will only show the glans "naked", that's all.

I believe that the percentage of circumcised men is different in different country, for the different approach towards phimosis in different countries. I believe that in North America

many more men are circumcised than in Europe.
