Stretching Exercises For Tight Foreskin Not Helping. Penis Bending On Erection And Painful. Total Circumcision Required?

Hi. I ve had a tight foreskin for about a year which suddenly appeared and have tried stretching exercises without success. My penis is now bending upwards when erect and is painful. Is this because I need a total circumcision and will my penis straighten afterwards? Thanks

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

You may have a condition called phimosis which is a tight opening in the foreskin. Phimosis may limit your erection and this is usually an indication to do a circumcision. Also with phimosis there is a tendency for the smegma to accumulate leading to infection and may brought about penile cancer.
