Tight foreskin

[Mgrrx]

Hey there I'm 15 year old and I am unable to pull my foreskin back when flaccid and even when erect. I have no pain or discomfort because of that but when I urinate a small balloon like skin appears at the tip of the foreskin... I'm feeling tensed about it. Is it normal and will the tightforeskin issue be solved as I grow up. I regularly masterbate by moving it up and down just like simulating sexual intercourse.. please help me and suggest me any stretching techniques etc.. I felt worried when I headed that unretractabe foreskin may lead to penis cancer.... I'm very very afraid.... Is it necessary for me to get circumcised?????

Hi there, there are a lot of threads on this topic on this forum - you might want to check them out - and you're right, there are a lot of options short of circumcision. Read this article:

and follow the links, including the one to circumcision.

Good luck.

You will see many questions/answers on here about tight foreskin, including from myself.

The 'balloon you see may be the urine hitting the skin as you pee before it come out ?

The general opinion is try gentle stretching and possible steroid creams.

I reached age 52 before needing a circumcision and that was due to other health reasons. That is not something I would personally recommend. At your age I would not worry too much. Pull back gently during bathing and shower, in private, to help cleaning.

If it does continue to worry you, go see your GP. Cancer is a remote possibility but not as bad as you may think. Often treatable with Chemo' creams.

Good luck and be careful.

But when my ballooning would stop?

Hi Mgrrx. Most guys start off with a tight foreskin and it's one of those things a guy has to do is stretch that 4skin so it will easily slip behind the glans. This is to ensure good hygiene and make intercourse more pleasurable. I don't have a 4skin which covers my penis head so I would suggest you pull your foreskin back as far as you can when you piss and I think that ballooning will disappear. Cheers mate

Just stretch, the same happened to me at that age, and it still does- I’m 17 now and stretching to loosen it up
