Foreskin problems.

[Bbninja]

Hey I'm 21 and I've literally never been able to pull back my foreskin. I've even tried some "stretching techniques" and nothing has worked. I clean it as much as I can but I still get itchy and even get a strange fluid like around the head which has a horrible smell. I'm getting depressed, because I simply can't stretch my foreskin back enough without it killing me. I'm kind of scared to see a doctor, but I know circumcision would 100% benefit me; and better my confidence. Would I get this surgery free? Please help

When there is no other way you have to go for circumcision . In which country are you in ? Perhaps Government Hospitals can make it free . Just enquire.

Just go and see a doctor in your country. No one else will be able to answer your questions

The stretching techniques do take some time and cortisone creams can help. But I would be more concerned with the discharge. In the first instance you could try something like Cannasten. It is an anti fungal treatment often prescribed for women with Thrush but can work just as well on men. Personally I would try other alternatives before having a circumcision. If it persists please see a Doctor.

yes it should be free because it is a medical condition and is causing you problems. From what you have said, it would seem to be the answer. Don't worry about seeing a doctor....this is only your embarassment, believe me GP's are never embarassed and are there to help.

Hi mate . All I can say is go see your doctor. Don't feel embarrassed about going. It's not if a TV crew are filming your appointment. He can make the right diagnosis and course of treatment. Let's us know how you get on.

Good luck.
