Any Suggestion For Tightness In Foreskin And Pain When Touching Penis?
Hello Doc, i am asking continuously, I have a problem of tight foreskin by which I have started developing pain when my boxer touches my penis. I showed it to urologist, he said it is penis sensitivity. But I want to ask is that what is a difference between sensitivity and pain? I have no problem in urine. Just while adjusting boxer, wearing jeans, it hurts. Is it cancer? Or is it serious? If not, what are the remedies? Please suggest

Hello
When you feel electric like sensation we call it as sensitivity .While pain is a defense feature and if it hurts all the time.
When you wear jeans etc may be a pain or sensitivity.
As far as concerned about tight foreskin may be a case of paraphimosis i.e. don't retract skin of penis so that glans of penis don't expose.So consult a surgeon and get hsi opinion.
