Hi everybody,
I am a 17 year old male and have only been rigoursly sexually active twice and these occasions have led to me experiencing paraphimosis and having to go to the doctors.
The first time was in June (posting this in march of the following year) and the second just 5 days ago. It's only after researching this after the second time I I've discovered that the foreskin should actually retract and I just have never done that before.
After stretching and pulling it back in the days following my paraphimosis episode, I have managed to get to a situation where I can pull it back flaccid but not on erect.
Furthermore, when I have pulled it back fully it has felt very tight, tender and painful. Most worryingly though my penis glands are very bruised making it quite traumatic to return the foreskin to its original place.
As I said before, I have only just realised you are meant to pull the foreskin back itself so I am massively confused as to what the situation is.
I am hoping this bruising is due to the trauma suffered by the paraphimosis and will disappear soon, however I am not certain on this and I do not know if I should seek immediate medical help or not.
