Foreskin attacheed to head of penis

[Donkey123]

Hi I’m 17 and cannot retract my foreskin very much I can only see about 10% of my glans I thought I had phimosis and started stretching the skin and noticed a small bit of skin connecting the back of my penis head to the foreskin. should this be here is their something else wrong or is it just phimosis I would rather not see a doctor but if really need to I will.

I assume you do masturbate? how does it feel, I mean does it hurt? if it doesn't keep doing it. it will go away eventually. you are very young. If it hurts, see and talk to your doctor.

Hi this is called your frenulum, and is normal, if your frenulum is to short, they can do a frenuloplasty and after this procedure, you are all ok! I had this done 3 years ago.

Hi! I actually had the same issue only I was able to retract the head all the way but with some pain. I didn't want to jump the gun and get circumcised so my doctor recommended frenuloplasty. He was able to cut the frenulum for more movement. After I healed from that I realized my foreskin was way too tight and required a lot of lubricant for masturbation or sex so I was circumcised. I would talk to your doctor about having the first procedure done and then some stretching creams?
