Can't pull back foreskin

[Nuova]

Hi, I'm 14 and ever since I was young I have never been able to pull my foreskin back whatsoever, it's as if the end of the foreskin is kind of glued together. I can't even see the head of the penis when I try to pull back, the foreskin just kind of stretches. There is no pain and no peeing issues. I was wondering I feel this was anything to be worried about and what I should do about it so I can pull it back. Help would be appreciated, thanks!

Well if there is no pain or problems urinating it's not causing, however you should be able to retract your foreskin to clean. But if it's not causing you a problem I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm worried about how I can't retract my foreskin at all

At your age not being able to pull back should not be an issue. Try gentle stretching whilst in the bath or shower and possibly cortisone creams. If you are in no discomfort I would leave alone, so to speak. I was in my late twenties before I could pull back and there are those who believe when you urinate the flow cleans the inside of the foreskin ? If you are in pain or are worried go see your Doc.

Good Luck

It seems like you are one of the many young chaps who has a tight foreskin. I had a similar issue during my early teens and although my foreskin did eventually become a little less tight, I continued to suffer from the condition beyond my teenage years. I had been to the doctor many times during that time. I was told that I should try stretching the skin and apply prescribed cream. This did not work for me and I eventually asked to be referred to a specialist. I was circumcised at the age of 24. I felt frustrated and disappointed that it had taken so many years to get to that point. However I have no regrets about being circumcised, it really helped me to move on. You should seek medical advice and talk to your doctor about what is best for your situation. You can then choose the option that is right for you. I certainly don’t think you should ignore the symptoms in the hope that they will disappear in a few years time.

You don't need a full circumcision and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, I had a similar problem and ultimately had my frenulum cut which solved the problem. The frenulum is the piece of skin which joins your foreskin to your penis much in the same way as the underside of your tongue does in your mouth.
