Suggest Treatment For Tight Foreskin And Phimosis

Hello Dear doctor, I am a 22 years old uncircumcised male. I have a tight foreskin and cannot retract foreskin over my glans to expose. I clean it everyday while taking a shower. I tried stretching to pull it back but it causes mild pain associated with tearing of skin of the foreskin. In my late teens i was able to pull back foreskin over my glans completely when flaccid but it still was tight and was too painful when erect, so I put the foreskin on back again. But now i am not even able to retract it over my glans when flaccid. What should i do if i am willing to expose my glans?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This condition is called phimosis and in my opinion only management is to get circumcision done as over the period of time it will become more and more difficult for you to retract foreskin over to expose glans penis and it might lead you to emergency department due to ischemia of glans penis by too tight foreskin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
