What Causes Pain In The Penis During Foreskin Retraction?

I am uncircumcised. Have had normal sex routine 1-3 per week for years. I ve never had pain pullin foreskin back until the other day during masturbation. I ve gently been pulling it back to clean in shower. It hurts at first. Then I pinch my penis and pull back at the same time to clean. Them after shower when I dry it off the pain is much less when pulling skin back. What s wrong?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Experiencing pain in the penis while pulling the foreskin could be due to lack of lubrication underneath the skin, may be due to presence of inflammation and edema.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon thrice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin cream underneath the foreskin following drying.
3. Apply moisturizer cream or lotion underneath the foreskin at bedtime.
4. Abstain from sexual activities till symptoms subsides completely.
Gradually, you should overcome the problem and get better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
