What Causes Foreskin Tear With Bleeding And Pain On Intercourse?
My fiancé is not circumsized. A few months after we met, he started getting little tears in his foreskin. I never took it serious until about a month ago when I saw the cuts bleed after we had sex. Everytime we think that they re healed and try having sex or he tries to pull it back to clean it, it tears again and takes months to heal. He s in a lot of pain and were considering getting him circumsized. Is there anything we can do to avoid this?
Foreskin tear is commonly due to vigorous masturbation or rough partner sex. Repeated tearing may also result due to dryness around or under the foreskin. Dryness around or under the foreskin often occurs due to yeast infection. He is suggested to keep the area clean and apply anti-fungal cream (Clotrimazole or Miconazole). He can take a single dose of pill with Fluconazole (anti-fungal). He should avoid sexual intercourse for a period of time following the incident to allow the tissue to heal completely.
He should avoid engaging in any rough activity and should not put condoms until healed completely. Take care of hygiene and do not let the tear get infected. Since the tear is recurrent and causing discomfort, he is suggested to get clinically examined by a urologist / surgeon. The treating doctor may suggest circumcision.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
