Hey, sorry for taking so long to reply havent been on comp. I still havent been able to get the full glands out yet cause i still dont want to go that far bak but its going rly well :-) I can pull bak the foreskin rly far even when its erect now :-D but still not all the way :/ Im still tring to get rid of the huge build up of smeagma as well but its still rly sore to touch my glands :-(

Also when i pull bak my foreskin theres some sorta skin there attacched to my glands?? Its when i get quite near the bottom of my glands this bit of skin appears and it goes all the way bak. Any idea wat this is?? Also my skin seems to roll up as i go down quite far and its hard to pull it back up sometimes because of it.

But things r alot better than when i first started out :-D Im still streching atm but. Thx for all advice and ill post bak soon :-D

It sounds like you're doing quite well.

If you Google 'penisfrenulum.jpg' and select the Wikipedia link you will get a good photo showing the frenulum. Is this the skin you're talking about? Most guys have that and it often gets torn during intercourse. Mine got torn several times. When it did I wrapped it with gauze or sometimes just toilet paper to keep the torn ends from healing back together. Doing that made it a little less tight after it healed and eventually it stopped tearing. Now it no longer restricts the retraction of my foreskin and I can pull the tip all the way to the base of my penis. It slides up and down comfortably with no pain or stretching even when erect.

Also if you Google 'glans penis' and select the Wikipedia link there is a good photo series showing retraction of the foreskin.

I say, keep at the stretching until you can retract it fully. It's really nice to be able to retract it comfortably for sex or just for masturbation.

Hey, i looked at that pic but thats not quite wat i have :/ Mines is on the front of my penis not the bak. Wat does that mean

It's probably a type of adhesion then. You probably should have a doctor look at it to see about releasing it.

This bit of skin is deffinately stopping me from pulling my foreskin all the way back :/ I tried pulling bak today and i could only get it a bit past this bit of skin but after that its stuck to my glands so i cant pull down any further.. Do u think this could still be a bit of skin thats attached to my glands and it will come loose???

I don't know if it will or not. I never had any skin adhesions like that. Mine always retracted all the way back easily, until my erections became large enough to create interference with the tight tip, which I had to stretch.

From what others have said on this forum your problem as I understand it, is normal and should correct itself in a few years.

There seem to be two opposing theories about that. My mother's doctor told her to retract my foreskin all the way to clean under it at every bath. The other side says it should not be retracted like that and any adhesions will disappear on their own during the teen years. All I can say is I'm happy that my mother did it the way she did. I was always able to pull it back with no problem and keeping it clean was certainly a plus for me.

If you are still concerned about it, why not ask your doctor about it the next time you see her/him?

njoyn has a good point. YOu probably should check with your doctor to see what's going on. I wouldn't go so far as getting it circumsied but it is worth a look by your doctor. Let me know how it goes okay?

Hi im 16 and i hava big problem with my foreskin, i can pull it back as far as the head before the glands but only when non-erect, i cant posible do it without it being non-erect, one day i manged to pull it back to the glands and clean it properly, then a week later i did the exact same and i got my fore skin stuck under the head i and it was all most impossible to get it back over (i had leaned it before i realized) so i tryed many times to get it back over and it bleed (the fore skin) then i painfully mangared to get it back but that was close because of it quickly becoming swelling so im really scared to try it again, what tips are there i only masturvate with the foreskin on. i can only clean just before the glands so thatz a problem, i might see a doctor but WHAT SHOULD I DO, i was never told about cleaning ,my foreskin until later early 15 so i never really new much about it so any tipz.

Hi Kevin, I just want to see if you decided to go to doctor with this? Have you maybe told your mother?
Give us an update on how are you doing now.

Cheers,

Hi Kevin,



It sounds as though it could be a 'skin bridge'. Give it a quick google and let me know if I'm on the right track. And it could well be this that is limiting your progress on getting your foreskin back.



You will be pleased to know though that the chances are you won't need a circumcision. You should see a doctor and he can confirm if it is indeed a skin bridge. If so, they are usually removed by a very simple surgical cut under a local anaesthetic.





Let us know how you get on :)

Hi again Kevin,


On the trying to tell your mum bit - would it be easier to tell your father? Or you could just drop out in a quiet moment that you want to see a doctor because of a little problem 'down there' and you're too embarrassed to talk about it. Thats the best I can come up with I'm afraid.


Let me know when you've looked at that site anyway.

Hi Kevin, there's never going to be a good moment to do it. You know how you have to rip a bandaid off? That's the same thing in this case. Just blurt it out. You have to just tell her you need to see a doctor and you'd rather not say why. Does that help at all?

I must agree on this one with healthnfitnessguy.
It will always be the same moment. You just need to tell her, and the sooner you do this, the better will be for you. Just tell her that you think that you need to see a doctor about some problem down there. She is your mother and she should respect your privacy.

Maybe you can try it on us here. :-) Post here the way you think you should tell her this and we will help you find the best option.
