I'm new here. Phimosis? Phimosis stretching kit? Help!

[breadwitholives]

Hi All

Glad i found this forum.

I'm 37 male uncircumcised.

Long story short.

When i was 18, i masturbated so much in one day that my foreskin got really red and sore ( i was probably feeling lonely) and was all cracked.

After that, my foreskin became tighter than usual and started having issue to uncover the glans when erected. Masturbation became more complicated as well as well as discomfort when putting a condom on ( when rolling it on the foreskin, it causes a mix of discomfort and pain for few seconds. i used creams throughout the years and i had times when i was trying to leave my glans uncovered for a period of time when i had an erection (without masturbating) just to stretch the skin.

As of today i can expose the glans but i feel discomfort when i do so and also i can see and feel the phimotic band 1 cm under the glans. Also i realised that my foreskin is very sensitive and when stimulated can cause me premature ejaculation.

I am currently trying to leave my glans exposed for long period of times to decrease some sensitivity, for either the glans and the foreskin.

I am considering buying one of those phimosis stretching rings and see if that improves.

When i have sex with my wife, my foreskin rolls back on the glans, requiring me to pull the skin back off every now and then, especially when using a condom

If we have a few sessions in a short period of time, cracks on the foreskin can reappear on the area that was originally affected (1 cm under the glans when the skin is pulled back and penis erected).

I do not think my phimosis is bad enough to get a circumcision ( don't like the idea of having a blade on my friend down there)

My question is: shall i get them to stretch the foreskin to allow me to get a more elastic skin and hopefully, whilst using a hydrocortisone cream?

Thanks for reading and all the advises.

You take care.

You need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis of what is wrong with your penis. You might have an infection. If you have phimosis then you might be prescribed an appropriate steroid cream to help with stretching. The stretching is usually done with the fingers so there is no need to buy a kit.

I echo what Osidge said.

I found that as I got older (now 70) my foreskin got tighter, presumably because there are fewer natural oils in the skin generally all over the body as we age. I tried various creams and oils but nothing helped as well as coconut oil, which was recommended on one of these men's health forums. It is cheap from the pharmacy, doesn't need a prescription, appears to be both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial and also makes the skin more stretchy. It is solid when cold, but soon melts in the hand and is then easy to apply night and morning after cleaning the penis glans and foreskin. The skin on my hands feels better for it too. The strong cocunut smell isn't to everyone's taste and I was unsure at first, but after a while I got to quite like it.

I agree RE the doctor first. I tried several kits and none of them worked for me, in fact one did more damage than good. In the end, before I had my circ, pealing my foreskin back over night helped a lot, the erections stretched it a bit.
