Tight foreskin

The foreskin is the hood of skin that covers the head of the penis. If you have been circumcised, you will not have a foreskin.
  • In small children the foreskin is tight and stuck to the glans, but normally begins to separate at about the age of 3 or 4. If the hole in the foreskin looks abnormally tiny, ask your doctor to check.
  • After the age of 7, it is usually possible to pull the foreskin back over the head (or glans) of the penis, but in some boys this is not possible before the age of 14 or 15. So if you are 13 or 14, do not worry – this is perfectly normal.
  • If you are 15 or over and cannot pull your foreskin back, it may be too tight.
A tight foreskin is called phimosis . If you have phimosis, you will not be able to wash under your foreskin properly, so a white, cheesy material called smegma can accumulate. Also, if the condition is severe, it may be painful when the penis is erect.
 
Some men have phimosis from childhood, but it can also occur late in life, perhaps as a result of several thrush infections affecting the head of the penis. Another common reason is a skin condition called balanitis xerotica obliterans, which makes the foreskin pale and thickened. The cause of this condition is not known; it is not an infection.

Treatments for a tight foreskin

If it is very tight, there is no point in trying to force the foreskin back: you will only cause painful cracks on the inside of the foreskin, which will scar as they heal and make it worse. NORM-UK suggests that you try gentle stretching, and advises on how to do this.
 
If this does not solve the problem, you probably need an operation.
 
Circumcision is the most common operation. The surgeon separates the foreskin from the head of the penis (if it is stuck down), cuts the foreskin away and closes the incision with stitches. The glans will seem very sensitive after the operation, because it is not used to being exposed. Most men have erections during their sleep, so for a few weeks after the operation, you may wake in the middle of the night with a sore penis; taking a pain-relieving medication at bedtime will help. Wear loose boxer shorts and use a condom during sex for the first month or two.
 
If the doctor thinks the cause is balanitis xerotica obliterans, steroid creams will be used first; this often relieves the condition for several years, but eventually circumcision is usually needed.
 
Preputioplasty is a lesser operation. It involves making a vertical incision in the foreskin and then stitching it crosswise to widen the opening; it usually leaves a very normal appearance.

Posted by English male on 25/01/2012 at 11:12

I am a 25 year old male from england and have a penis that i can not pull the foreskin back at all. It literally covers the whole of my penis and looks like that little bit more as well.It dont hurt at all. no irritation. no soreness. nothing but girls dont like it. I wash my penis in the bath / shower with normal body wash but can not clean under the foreskin - dont know if this is a problem as after bathing no girl has complained that it smells or anything. I have never seen under my foreskin before as i cant pull it back at all. Its strange in a way because when its not errected it is small but when it becomes errected (it dont hurt) it is quite big. now i dont know if this is because over the years it has stretched the foreskin when growing ? but theres no pain at all and never has been. please let me know your thoughts.

I had tight phimosis since birth and had difficulty in urinating. The out-flow of urine was very slow, and could not completely urinate. Of late I consulted a urology in India and he operated. However, there is adhesion and could not completely remove the skin. He just made the opening bigger. The urethra was also small and he inserted catheter. I started 10 size catheter and I am into 12 size catheter. The urine outflow is ok as of now. But the healing is taking long time. It is almost 10 days now post operation. The prepuce and the skin operated constantly oozes liquid and cannot keep dry hampering the healing. I would be very grateful if you could suggest what type of ointment should I use and how to keep the wound dry for prompt healing

Posted by Wants it over with on 14/08/2011 at 11:01

hey, I've always had tight foreskin. at around the age 13 I manned up and pulled it down, I still have scars >.<. now I can easily pull it down erect or not, but. I've a string attached to the top of my head, which causes it to getting bended over when I pull it back erect or not. As it's the only problem I have I really wish I could get it over with. I've consulted with a doctor and he said "ohh you're just abit tight around the head." then why do I have a bloody string attached to it? any tips how to do it, cause I do not see circumcision any viable option. or is it just the normal just pull it back mroe often. Help please =/

Posted by Optional on 02/08/2011 at 11:31

I had same very tight freskin as a child. It was painful and i had to force it back to show the whole head. One day i managed it eventually but was very worrying. In hind-sight, i should have told my mother - manned up to the fact , or simply visit a doctor and tell him my problem. Just make it happen and you will be glad to put your mind at rest.

Posted by Optional on 02/08/2011 at 09:11

basicly i cannot get my foreskin back over the head of my penis even when flaccid and this is starting to worrie me. can someone please tell me if this is normal even at my age?

Posted by Dom on 27/07/2011 at 10:04

I tried contracting my foreskin for the first time and probably pulled it a little too much too fast. It got stuck behind the glans and I struggled to get it loose. The glans started getting bigger and more purple, I am glad I was eventually able to release it. To fix this will I just need a fair amount of stretching? Bearing in mind that my penis was flaccid when I did this, it is going to need a much bigger gap when going over my erect penis!

My foreskin can go behind my head of the penis but if I pull more than that, I will feel pain. I'm afraid that when I have sex that the vagina will push back my foreskin even further than it has ever been before causing both pain and embarrassment. What should I do?

Posted by Optional on 21/06/2011 at 02:09

Guys listen. I had an extremely tight foreskin! however it can be easily loosened through patient practice. Pull it back and forth softly after a nice hot shower, over time the foreskin will stretch and you will be perfectly fine :)

Posted by Optional on 19/04/2011 at 02:26

everything was normal till about acouple of years ago when i felt thatthe rim of the foreskin was getting thicker .it made the movement of the foreskin up and down the head difficult , and eventually very painful.now i push my finger thetight openingand clean thehead and the foreskin using soap and water.it is only the rim that has become thick.i hope to correct the situation in due course just by following my daily routine of stretching the rim

i can pull the skin back when my penis is not erect and if i touch the head it hurts, but if make my penis erect while im holding down the skin and then touch it doesnt hurt as much. what is this problem?

Posted by Optional on 05/04/2011 at 06:08

My foreskin was always extremly tight, i never thought anything of it for years then as i got older i realeased it should come down...i did some research about 2 weeks ago, and decided to try the stretching tecniques, so far so good! the first time i retracted it the penis was not errect, i kept it down a few mins and then back up, i rubbed abit of extra virgin olive oil on it to soften the skin! now i pull the foreskin back every time i pee! also is it essentail that once u get it down to give under there a very good cleaning to get rid of any dirt and also the smell!!!! now if im in the house i would retract my foreskin and carry on with wot ever im doing, sometimes i would get an errection and it would hurt a little, but i usually try and take my mind of it and it goes away, but if it gets really sore i pull it back over! just hope the more i retract and get errect it will finally be loose enough! hope u all get sorted

Posted by Optional on 02/04/2011 at 12:55

Hi, I am 28 yrs old, married. I am having a problem of not pulling my forskin back on my penis. It has been happening for the last one month .I am not able to do sex could you please suggest me what to do. Thanks in advance.

Posted by Optional on 01/04/2011 at 04:36

You should seriously see a doctor. No non-surgical cure is going to be as effective or safe enough to give you the serious changes you need. Is your pride really worth that pain, or would you feel better about having a penis that gives maximum pleasure? I choose the latter, and nothing will convince me I chose foolishly

Posted by Optional on 22/03/2011 at 09:53

i ve got a very tight foreskin while in rest as well as erected plz some body help me..........

Posted by Optional on 21/03/2011 at 04:20

I think I may have phimosis. My foreskin can retract whilst flacid, but when erect, I can only pull the foreskin back to about halfway down the tip of my penis. It's incredibly annoying and makes sex very uncomfortable without lubrication. I also get a sharp pain on the underside of the penis tip when erect, if I pull the foreskin back over the head BEFORE I become erect. Please help.

Posted by GayGuy on 21/03/2011 at 02:55

I was been given head and for the first time my foreskin actually went over the head of my penis. i didn't realize until the head was licked and exposed to the fresh air, so i quickly put the skin back over the head because it was that sensitive. So i know that the skin can stretch over my head and i barely felt it in fact it felt great. but because i'm gay i find it hard to actually be able to have sex with someone else so i'm always the taker. Because i now know the head can stretch over the head, would it be dangerous to put lube in my foreskin before i have sex then put a condom over it? im just scared that something else is going to happen if i do this.

im caleb and im 13, when i was 11 i had an erection and i pulled my foreskin back and it wouldnt go back over. in result to this i panicked and kept trying which only made my foreskin swollen and extremely sore. i waited a few days to see if the situation got any better but it didnt so consulted a doctor and he sent me to the hospital. i got there, was examined and they resulted straight to circumscision. now everything is perfectly normal and perfect except the fact that the head is no longer as sensitive, is there a reason for this?

I just wanted to say I used to have that same problem of a really tight foreskin, and I just solved it a year ago at age 27. The exersises where you gently stretch it out every single day is very effective. You just need to be diligant with it!!

i have asked a few questions and checked on google, i got an answer saying i have to masturbate, i masturbate every day though, and still no difference. of course people that get circumsised dont have the problem, but.. every man that doesn't get circumsised do they have the same problem as me? and will the foreskin fix this itself?? thanks

Posted by Optional on 13/12/2010 at 06:10

The other night after having sex i noticed my penis hadnt gone back into my foreskin. It's been a few days since and it still hasnt... My penis isnt sore, it is just a bit embarassing. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Posted by imscared on 11/12/2010 at 08:38

I had sharp feeling in my penis, and it would shrink a bit. Then return to normal, when it does the foreskin becomes tight and the penis is hard. Warm water uselly allows me to pull the foreskin below my head, and then slowly moves itself back to the head and covers about half or quatuer of it. I went 2 see my family doctor twice he says that there is nothing wrong even after pulling back the skin and getting a closer look. I'm lead to think that circumsistion is the only answer. Any suggestions please, it's exam week at college and i cannont concentrate on anything.

Hello. I'm a 30 year old male. I recently had pneumonia and I also suffer from asthma. The medication my doctor prescribed me was a combination of small steroid tablets and penicillin. Nearing the end of the treatment I started to notice that the foreskin was tightening, and now when I try to pull it back the skin starts to crack, and it even bleeds sometimes when I do this. I can see the glan but the very top of the foreskin is swollen, kinda red and it itches. Could this be a result of the medical treatment and what should I do.

Posted by rick on 20/08/2010 at 01:38

its nothing to worry about tight foreskin !!! first try to stretch ur foreskin when penis not errect cuz it hurts less when not errect!! be careful and do it slowly!! no lubricants will be required then!! bt u will have to resist a lil pain! once ur fore skin retracts a little ! start doin the whole procedure again!!! in 2 or 3 days u will notice the difference!!! then try out this stepa when penis erect,remember dont focus to retract ur fore skin on penis or it will go down again!! jus try and stretch foreskin a lil bit on erect penis for 3 days!!! after 3 0r 4 days u will see the difference

to anonymous who posted on the 56 6 2010 hell0 stretching of the foreskin means pulling the foreskin forward as far as you can .you have to pull your foreskin back as well.this action carried out about five times a day should loosen and streatch your foreskin.if successful there will be a slight increase in the length of your foreskin and it should pull backwards and forwards with no promblems.karen

hello boys sorry to read about your sore tight foreskins.circumcision is the best way to solve this promblem their is no need to feel embarressed about being circumcised us girls find a circumcised penis sexually appealling and eroticas well as seually stimulating circumcision is cleaner for you boys as well as us girls.their are methods of circumcision that do not need stitches like laser electocautionary and the mogen clamp.after your foreskins are removed you will be left with just a slight scar us girls call a cut mark below your exposed head this is sexually stimulating for both us girls and boys so come on boys get rid of that skin....good luck in your foreskin removeals

If i try to pull it more, it cause high pain in my growin. I am happy but like it to roll back completely. Pls tell me if this is possible as I want to enjoy my sex life (whatever is balance) to the full.

Hi- I never exposed my glans until I was 25. I was never self conscious about it really, and eventually it was curiosity that led me to try and pull back my foreskin. I would take warm baths with epsom salts and oil. They were both important for ensuring the sensitive glans, which had never been touched directly, did not become irritated. Think about getting a back rub with a sweater on, and another with no sweater on- it's much more intense. Slowly, but surely, I gradually was able to expose the head of the penis- first while flaccid, and eventually while erect. I strongly encourage this method! Stay away from the knife, it is not needed and irreversible.

I think i might have tight foreskin it seems to be attached to the head with a bit of skin and wont pull back to far without it starting to hurt because it is attached. It stays this way when erect. Is this a problem

My issue is milder than some on here. I noticed that steroid creams are mentioned. I found Dexeryl works well without the long term issues

My foreskin is tight. The Penis also itches a lot that I have to masturbate to release the sperm. Afterwards I use hot water to clean the penis.. generally spray the hote water over the penis and inside the foreskin. That gives some relief. However I have noticed that I am not getting erections while trying to have sex. Please advise what to do.

Its embarrassing at my age not to be able to pull my skin back. I could only pull back about 25% before the skin was too tight to go any further. Sex w/ a condom is no problem but anything other than that is painful. Well everyday I gently pulled my skin back during urination and masturbation. Each time cleaning out the white stuff. A couple of time I didn't bother..and I developed yeast infection. Yogurt helped cure that in 3 days. After about 6 months of stretching gently with no creams or steroids, I could see about 75% of my head.1 day my gf accidentally pulled too far..and that was it!! Since then I've had no problems. A few times the skin has got trapped behind the head, but I just squeeze the head and help the skin come back to the front by pulling it. Just be patient if you are in the same situation as me.

When I Have An Erection, The Foreskin Will Not Peel Back. Ive Noticed There Is A Small Strip Of Skin Or Something Attached To The Head Which Is Causing It. Is That Normal?

Hey i've had this problem just keep using baby oil on it rubbing it in and trying to get the head less sensitive and it works after a month for me lol almost but it takes a lot of time to get it fully back but slowly in weeks the foreskin will get less tighter. It all depends on how tight the foreskin is...

I had problems retracting my foreskin ever since I can remember .. I went to the doctor and got it checked out. I never had any treatment but was told my my parents that when I was born ther doctor informed that i may have problems with my foreskin in future. Nowadays I can't really complain as it pulls back with minimal problem and goes back into place with minimal effort needed. I recommend taking hot baths and excercising your foreskin regularly every time you bathe ... even leave it pulled back in the bath for a while and then put it back into place .. also it helps to pull it back when flacid then watch a movie so's it goes erect .... it may be painful at first but take it easy and one step at a time ... keep doing the following continously day after day and you should be okay , hope this helps !:)

my friend has been circumcised long time ago, and just mentioned that sometimes when masturbating the top of the skin that protects the penis, gets like little cuts, that sometimes, that when the penis is very erect, he is got to be careful not to pull the skin back to much or it hurts.
