Foreskin and penis problem.

[Anon1234503]

Im 14 years old (almost 15) and my foreskin doesnt retract. I have no issues urinating or masterbating, there is no pain. I just want to know whether it will be able to retract in the future or whether actions need to be taken (or at least should) help would be appreciated

Not unusual to not retract at that age. It doesnt always retract till sometimes 18 years of age. You can stretch the opening and that will let you retract it as long as you stretch the skin open. Look up "novoglan" and that should give you an idea

Whatever the anti-circumcision followers tell you, it's not normal if your foreskin doesn't retract. I had it too and got circumcised a few years ago at 17. I also tried first the stretching but it doesn't help at all. You always can try the stretching first, but I wish you good luck. I am very glad I took the jump and got myself circumcised. Everything looks and feels better now.

It is not "normal" to not being able to retract your foreskin at that age. However, it isn't unusual either and happens many times. It depends on the "severity" of not being able to retract. Are you able to retract your foreskin when flaccid or are you unable to retract it at all?

Sometimes one can solve the issue via "stretching" but that doesn't always work and it may require circumcision but it also might not. Best thing to do is set up a meeting via your parents (might be embarrassing for you to talk to them about it, but tell your dad and he will understand and you don't have to worry about that) with a urologist to give you an examination and he can then tell you what can be done. Don't be afraid to ask about any of your concerns or other possibilities. If you want 100% assurance, go see a doctor. People on these forums can help you only to a certain extent since the majority are not professionals and even if there are any professionals here they can't examine you properly.

Treat anything you read here as potential advice, not as 100% certainty. Only a doctor can give you that.

Talk to your doctor if you are bothered by it on a purely cosmetic reason as you said there is no discomfort

yeah it's an embarrassing conversation to have but they are there to help and guide you they won't laugh or take this piss I've just been to see my doc about a sexual problem thats alot more embarrassing especially as it was a female doc and she didnt even react just told me what to do next 🙈

There is a lot of disagreement on whether it is normal or not to be able to retract your foreskin. I would say it is not uncommon, given that a large number of posts on here ask the same question. If you are not in any discomfort then why not try stretching, you have nothing to lose. Go straight to surgery then potentially you do !

I could not pull back until well into my twenties and at that point made no difference to me. I kept clean, I enjoyed sex, I fathered Children.

If in doubt consult your Dr. There is nothing to worry about.
