I have realized that I have been having this problem for quite some time already. My foreskin cannot be fully retracted. If possible,can I can post some links with spoilers showing exactly how my foreskin looks like? I found 2 pics on a safe website which looks almost like mine when it's flaccid,and when I try to pull back. Is it necessary for me to circumcise? I'm 19 already,and wondering if I'm too old for it. I prefer not to though,as I heard circumcision has it's cons. How can I fix this problem? I scared that next time it would be pain when having intercourse. Imagine the friction moving my foreskin up and down when even now it can't even go down. I heard that stretching can help,but I don't really know how to do it. Just for more info, when my penis is flaccid,I can retract the foreskin until a string prevents me from further retracting it,but when my penis is hard,it's harder to retract and I can only see a little bit of the top part of the head...

Have you ever been able to retract it fully in the past?

If not, you may have phimosis or phimosis with adhesions to the glans penis.
Consult a doctor in nearby clinic. After proper examination and assesment of your genital by the doctor only the decision to get circumcised comes.

Nope I don't think I have ever been able to retract fully. Like now,I can only retract to see less than half of the head,like the top part of the head,and I can see like a string preventing me from further retracting the skin down..

Then adhesions are present between your prepuce and glans penis. (see below)



Simply means that your innerside of your foreskin is sticking onto your penis head on one or probably more places. This can be seperated in nearby clinic if you wish. However, even after seperating them you may still not be able to retract the foreskin fully, thus the doctor needs to rule out phimosis as well (see below)


If you indeed have phimosis (your foreskin opening too small to retract fully) - you may require circumcision~

Otherwise... you are at risk of having, among other things:

- Torn foreskin (particularly while masturbating/sex)
- Balanitis (painful inflammed penile head)
- Paraphimosis (a surgical emergency)
- Cancer of the penis (long term consequence)

etc

Thanks for your help. Are u a doctor? Based on the picture you posted, mine kind of looks like that too,except there is like a string also. I think it might be best if I post a pic of mine..it might sound disgusting,but after all,this is a Health & Fitness forum right?

I am and that string is the adhesion. It can be seperated.

There are medical students and actual doctors lurking in this subforum, we can give you some medical advice but it is by no mean a substitute for a proper medical check-up.
Go to the nearby Govt. clinic/hospital, it will save you $$$... at the expense of your time of course...

to ease ur worries, better consult specialist ...
i think my friend also having problem like you ..
no worries, it can be done with today's technology..

Thanks for the help. How will the doctor separate the string? So is circumcision not necessary? Prefer not to circumcise better,what do u think?

With either a scalpel or a scissor. Circumcision may not be required if you dont have phimosis.

its always gud to be get done..

So I suppose there would be local anesthetic involved right? If circumcision is an option(not necessity), is it better to go or dun go for it? As I have heard circumcision reduces pleasure feelings,and I wouldn't like the post-op pain involved.

just potong laaa...don't think too much..

May I know what the cons are?

I don't know, I guess most of the people would go for circumcise. And hey, it's never too late.

Really? I thought circumcision adds pleasure feelings? I remember my PLKN teacher got tell us.. "Tolak pun rasa, tarik pun rasa..."

You must have potong before,that's why.

I have read some articles before,some of it include reduced sensitivity,loss of the gliding mechanism,and it's like mutilation...

Don't know..still virgin. PLKN got talk about these stuff?

Yes i am circumcised 16 years ago

Ever had intercourse when u were uncircumcised?

Nope..i was 12 back then..i don't even know what is intercourse..if now don't say la

So does it feel good even when circumcised?

Sorrels et al. (2007) carried out their work in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. They studied 163 male subjects which included both circumcised and men with intact foreskins. Nineteen locations on the penis were tested with the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament touch-test. The glans of the intact males was found to have greater sensation than the glans of the non-intact males. The area of greatest sensation on the non-intact males was the circumcision scar. Intact males had five areas located on the foreskin of significantly greater sensation than the circumcision scar on the foreskin. The preputial mucosa, the mucocutaneous boundary and the ridged band were found to be areas of great sensation on the intact penis. Taylor has postulated that the ridged band is sensitive to movement (Taylor 2000).

Logic-wise, the more you're expose to something (whatever it is), resistance / immunity / decrease of feeling/sensation will occur. Personal opinion though.

Of course it does! Circumcise or not as long as your girl is comfortable with it then ok.

Got some inter racial fight Chinese and Malay.
So that night all kena counselling. Then the instructor make joke la about circumcision

Is Your Circumcision Making You Soft?


"If only he had his foreskin . . ."

The Link between Circumcision and Erectile Dysfunction

^ Stuffs like above is exactly what makes me think twice before going for circumcision.

The circumcision-impotence link is probably very real, judging from the huge demand for sildelnafil-laced fake "traditional" medicines and herbs, mainly from a particular race in Malaysia.

And guys, only when my penis is flaccid I can retract the foreskin until the string prevents me from further retracting it, but when my penis is hard, it's harder to retract and I can only see a little bit of the top part of the head..

how about sharing world wide demand then?

Why is there a need for circumcision when there is a natural DIY remedy of you pulling it back from time to time?

Yea I have tried that, but somehow I can't see any improvements and sometimes I forget to do it everyday. And I only pull it back in the shower while my penis is flaccid. Must I pull it back when it's erect?

I'm not sure about your current circumstance (you better see a specialist for this) but I believe you should have pulled it back regularly since small.

But can you pull it back when it is erect?

just get it cut...problem settle ...after 1 week can make love oredi...

Yes I think I have this problem probably because I never knew how to pull it back last time..and no,when my penis is flaccid only I find it easier to pull back, when erect,harder to pull back. I try to pull back and stretch everyday in the shower, but in the shower my penis is flaccid,so it's easier to pull back, but I can't get it to be hard so that this stretching method is more effective.

You seem to be a proponent of getting circumcised..well I'd consider it, but there are some disadvantages which makes me reconsider before circumcising

phimosis

The first time is always painful.

Why not try pulling it daily until it can finally fully expose it? Do it while the skin is moisture (like during bath with soap or simply use lotion/lubricant). I remembered when I first try and first few times really cant as it was painful. But you can see that it gradually become more stretchable and finally one day, tada. After that no problem at all.

Give it a try for a week or two and if really cant then see a doctor lor. Find a pretty one...

Yea that's what I'm trying to do every time I bath,about 2 times a day,pull back the foreskin..but I pull back when my penis is flaccid,would that work? Or must it be erect? But I can't get it to erect in the shower.

Hahaha... then use some imagination or play some porn on your mobile.

Lol ok wait let's try to keep this thread clean and only medical info stuff in it.

So is it necessary to be erect when doing the stretching? Because I notice I can stretch more when flaccid compared to when erect, but the point of stretching is so that the foreskin can fully roll back when erect right?

dun just roll it up 1 or 2 times..just do it back n forth when in the shower when flaccid..
till that time ur skin loosen it..den i believe u can do it a bit more during ur erection..of cos not by force...
if u can roll up during flaccid i dun see it to be a problem during erect..might be just a bit tight..so take ur time and slowly loosen it up

Yes sometimes I do wonder whether I'm doing correctly or not. But what I do is when I'm flaccid, I pull it down,and then back up..and then repeat this for a few times. It does show progress, but only when it's flaccid. When I'm erect, it have no difference and I can only see a little bit of the tip of the head.

TS, seems like you have mild phimosis. I'm 19 going on 20, and like you, I've gone through this, though at a much earlier age. Remember, circumcision shall be the last resort, if it's a health or cosmetic reason (I've got no comment for people who do it for religious purposes).

Let me tell you that your situation ain't that bad, because you can already retract when you're soft, but not erect. You have a what is called a tight phimotic ring, google it to find out more.

What you should do (and what I did):
1.Retract more often when you're soft, esp. when you're pissing! If you like, you can try pulling your foreskin back and leave it, then do your daily activities for a few hours- but get prepared to feel the sentitiveness. It'll also desensitise your glans (penis head) so you'll last longer in sex and/or masturbation
2. Since you can't retract it past the glans when you're erect, try pulling as far down as you can go, until you feel discomfort but not pain. Hold this for 30 seconds to 1 minute and do this for 5-10 times a day.
3. Preferably when you're flaccid, stretch out your left and right middle fingers and put them into your foreskin (I'm assuming you can do so). Then you pull the fingers horizontally, stretching the foreskin. Again, to the maximum, until you feel discomfort but not pain. If you feel pain, STOP. And again, do this for around 30 sec to 1 min and for 10 times a day, the best time is when you're shitting.
4. If you do masturbate/TFK, try using your foreskin. Do what I said in 2, rub it back and forth to the max you can go. When you can finally retract when you're erect, retract it and TFK...heheh

All these make the cells on the phimotic ring multiply and eventually loosen, if you're consistent, you'll see improvements in 2 weeks or more, and you don't need to think of circumcision even as an option.
More details about my techniques here-http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_stretch_your_foreskin

Oh, and your 'STRING' is it at the bottom of the glans, I think it's the frenulum, everyone not circumcised has it. When you can retract it will stretch too but naturally it's short in Asians. More info here, NSFW-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenulum_of_prepuce_of_penis

Whatever you do, don't hurt yourself, and don't even think of circumcision!

Is anyone here proceed or know about PrePex circumcision in malaysia ?

I'm very interested with this method since no local anaesthesia and thus no needles are required, as with surgical circumcisions.

PS: I'm scared of needless and injections.

TS, I am also like you. Been having tight foreskin all my life until I had circumcision few days ago. Did it at a private clinic. Sure it stings a bit. But hey, no pain no gain. Be a man, get circumcise and you glad that you've done it.

most are phobia of the pain ....after cut your deck looks better with the head showing ..seriously..

But bro, it's not just the pain after operation, it's also the loss of sensitivity and other things that comes with the removal of foreskin. Seriously go google around for the uses of foreskin, the foreskin has many uses.

yeah, i've considered that too. but my penis produced a lot of the white substance, which is quite annoying to clean, because sometime i have problem retracting the foreskin just for the sake of cleaning.

to solve this, i have to circumcise. pain is only 1 week the most. as for sensitivity, well, i guess, its either sensitivity or cleaniness.

TS, you have a long life ahead of you. So, make your choice wisely.

i didnt lose a single sensitivity bro ...and if u google around it reduces the chances to get hiv/std by half...

How was ur problem of retracting like? Couldn't it be solved by stretching?


No study have really proven that circumcision can reduce std's by half, and it seems circumcised people have less pleasure during intercourse too. And maybe when older that time, hard to enjoy already. Maybe now u are still young, that's why sensitivity/pleasure still there.

cannot stretch. sure pain. its just too much discomfort. now my penis looks like "Frankenstein"
eat a lot of vege n fruits. sure heal faster.

eh, i thought if circumcised more pleasure?
as for loss of foreskin sensitivity, can always apply lubricant during sex or fap times..

Where did u go to get it done,and how much u paid?

When u think circumcision as a form of mutilation, it's kind of scary.

i'll PM u the clinic, afterward ppl say i'm "advertising". rm350.

haha..i was scared too, before operation already inject so many times, during operation, inject again cause it's bloody painful, before stitching, inject again..

but i'm glad it was done, thank goodness, its something i don't want to experience twice in a lifetime.

so if your penis really tight, be very sure, you going to get a lot of injection and pain.

Here is a non-traditional way of circumcision and this technique is available in Malaysia.

oh shit, there's no way if I want to use that plastic device on my d*** for 5 days
how the f@# u walk with that thing?

ever heard of the Shang Ring? it seems that it dont leave any surgical scar.

My didi sunat guna smart klamp when I was 11 years old,, 5 days ok la ma is not that you wanna play rugby or something,, I can run after 3 days and plus this you tak payah jahit wor,,

Sunat jer ts no need to think much,, Much advantage after sunat,, Plus you have phimosis,,

Ever heard of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of penis ? It is less common in circumcision penis,, Plus if you active in piap piap also can collect the microbes within the prepuce,,

i cut when im 22 and im mid 30s now..didnt even lose a single sensitivity....

So smart klamp is the best technique if someone decides to circumcise? And there is no really proven study that circumcision can really reduce the risk of cancer of the penis.

Maybe when u are older, then u might find it harder to orgasm? By the way tell me whether is ur foreskin tight or did the doctor left some extra skin

first 2 days your d*** will have pain when erection coming..
this is due to bandage too tight. doc have to make it tight to stop bleeding.

then on third day, if doctor already teach you how to bandage, you can do own your own.
when you bandage, dont do so tight and / or loose.

fourth day - if doc say no need to bandage, then no need bandage lor..
can take shower also if permissible.

take ikan haruan/ fish essence with gamat / sea cucumber for quick recovery.

remember no eggs, spicy food and seafood. there goes my roti canai telor.

what is the charges like btw?

should be around rm300++ exclusive of post-op visitation. government hospital / clinic cheaper but long wait.

and make sure you're properly heal within a month..

ur gf / wife/ etc won't be sucking your banana for a while...

Just circumcised it bro... Better, hygiene sake and sexual pleasure sake...

already 3 weeks since the operation. feeling quite good. there's quite a sensation down there, who say lost of sensitivity?

so much sensation mang..better than before.

Wait which technique of circumcision did u had? And did the doctor leave a bit of skin or totally tight fit? Seems like u are enjoying ur 'new' penis

normal technique. i dont know about others, but the doc said b4 the operation, my d*** really tight so he left this "thing" behind my penis (which kinda look like a small, round ball).
so this round ball act as a g-spot stimulator.

doc leave a bit of skin. oh yeah, enjoying my penis. my wife so happy..its so big now..i mean the head..

Hi TS, I used to have the same issue where I could only pull my foreskin when it is flacid but not when it is erected. I was then about 21 y.o. What I did was just pull it when it is flacid and get it erected.

Warning. when i erect it with the skin pulled during flacid, it is slightly painful like injection. Thereafter, i notice my foreskin did tear and it bleeds a little for a few days and stain my underwear. After that everything goes back to normal except that now i can pull my foreskin during erection.

Again, back then I was not internet savvy and was shy seeking medical health or talk to people about it. So I just experimented and it works. So u may consider a different option.

wow that's so hardcore.

Congratulations Roythomas.

This is a type of disease called, Phimosis. It's where the foreskin cannot fully retract into the skin, and the opposite of Phimosis is Parahimosis

More Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phimosis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphimosis

I guess having Phimosis is better than Parahimosis.

Anyways, my problem was solved on it's own after it expanded slowly by having sexual intercourse. lol.

i guess it work on some ppl. hah, no matter how many times i've had sex also it didn't solve my problem, in the end have to circumcise.

Haha, yes. So far based on my research and experience, we have only 3 options.

a) Stretching Exercise - (Slow, and tedious. Requires alot of patience since results is only seen after long term. If you are only interested in fast results, i suggest applying Benzamycin Cream (Made of Erythromycin and Benzoyl Peroxide)Erytromycin is an antibiotic and Benzoyl peroxide works through several mechanisms. It kills the bacteria and promotes the growth of new skin cells. It also dries the skin and increase cell growth.)

b) Forcefully Retract - (Slow, tedious and painful. Requires alot of patience and tolerance to pain. Either through forcefully stretching, or vigorous sexual intercourse/masturbation may cause the skin to retract on it's on. But please note not to tear your foreskin via stretching or masturbation. It hurts, bleeds, and its going to be a hell of a mess when you start wearing your boxers. Take it slow, force your foreskin to open and leave it for 3-5mins for it to stretch before putting it back inside the foreskin. If you have a VERY tight foreskin that cannot retract back, use method (A) first.)

PS: If stretching or forcefully retract hurts, apply lube, or warm water.

c) Circumcise - (This should be the last resort.) Ask RoyThomas for more info He's in his 4th week?

Give yourself time, skin stretches because if it doesnt we wouldnt have stretch marks would we?

Edit: This is compiled by myself. Based on personal experience and knowledge. I read about this many years ago.

third week..wow, can run here and there also..although still a bit squamish when wearing boxer n underwear.

bro, u got a lot of that white thing or not? that's the reason also why i always try to clean my penis. bcoz of that stupid white substance.

bcoz of tight foreskin i cannot clean my penis regularly thus rendering option A and B useless. therefore taken option C.

hi....i have same problem like ts too, bt i can't even retract my skin before and after erection
need help please....

ni dasyhat ni. already try omgimahero suggestions? try2. jgn malu. keyword is patience.

Check my previous two post.

I have the same problem like you, both flaccid or erect cannot retract.

But i manage to cure it.

a) Stretching Exercise (without cream, with lube and hot water)

b) Forcefully Retract (only after you can retract 30-50% of your foreskin with a flaccid penis, then i recommend that you should start forcefully retract by masturbation method or sexual intercourse)

It took me 8-12months stretching to see a difference, and started forcefully retract via masturbation/sexual intercourse for 6-8months. After that 80% of my head was showing. After another 2 more months of stretching and forcefully retracting. I got my penis cured to 100% be able to retract flaccid or erect now.

So patience is the key to curing a phimossis. Dont get your foreskin stuck behind your head. It'll get you paraphimossis. (You'll regret ever trying to fix your current foreskin if you get caught with paraphimossis.) TRUST ME.

EDIT: Btw, my foreskin still covers my head at all times. But i can still retract my foreskin while erect. And with phimossis, your penis is shorter

This post has been edited by omgimahero: Feb 14 2013, 03:57 PM

Yes i agree, i malu lah last time. So i end up reading and reading and reading.

But i guess i got myself cured, but didnt know if anyone from here required help.

But i read before somewhere, almost 15-20% of males in the world has the same problem.

Male Infants @ 3year old has 90% increased risk of Phimossis
Male Teenagers @ 5-12 year old has 40% increased risk of Phimosis
Male Adult @ 12-21 has 3% increased risk of Phimosis

so in my current condition.....can i do intercourse or will it be hard for me

go and see doctor for professional advice. anybody here professional doctor or not?

first of all, have u ever had intercourse? fapping dont count.

never...but now if i want i can do it.....just worried if its ok or not

why scared to see doctor? check only ma. not like he's going to cut..

dont regret later la..

lol...i've seen the doctor and he said need to do surgery bcoz the only way is to circumsize the pennis. but i prefer not to circumsize. so i think i will try omgimahero's method

lol...i've seen the doctor and he said need to do surgery bcoz the only way is to circumsize the pennis. but i prefer not to circumsize. so i think i will try omgimahero's method

i see. scared to circumcise la..nvm, then try omgimahero method but of course its time consuming n require a lot of patience.

Ok. Yes, i have read everywhere that doctors around the world would recommend circumcise. Because it's safe, clean, effective and KINDA low risk. I don't know about the price because i have never inquiry.

Yes, i suggest you give my method a try. I gave myself two years to circumcise since i would turn 21, but i saw results.

I am not a doctor, but believe our skin is stretchable, this is because an infant skin mass would weigh lower than an adult. duh? But it takes time to grow. And helping skin grow means patience in stretching if you are afraid to circumcise.

@givemeabreak, the forcefully retract method has to be done with care. You only want to forcefully retract to a maximum distance quickly and back. Maybe 5 to 10 seconds "hold" or "tahan" As time progress you can forcefully retract more. But in your case i suggest gentle and basic stretching for a few months.

On top of that, dont worry about having sexual intercourse. Honestly, i had a hard time explaining to girls about this whenever i had to strip. So i rather be single Or find a girl that can accept you and keep stretching.

This post has been edited by omgimahero: Feb 14 2013, 06:10 PM

price for adult circumcision ranged from rm350 n above depending on location.

lol. lucky i didnt do a small skin operation for 600.

Since a circumcise would only cost 350 -.-

small price to pay 4 huge dividends later.

my skin can stretch all the way back...so i dun hv problem. can save the money on something more productive.

What kind of round ball is this? Is it those kind of piercings ppl put on their penis? Never know that we have a round ball behind our penis, and can it really act as a g-spot stimulator? And what colour is ur head?


I definitely not going to try ur method, because if we retract our foreskin while flaccid, and let it erect, it can cause paraphimosis

How old are u now and when did u start noticing u had ur phimosis problem? Well it's been one month since I posted this thread, and I think I can say that I have noticed improvements, especially retracting when flaccid. When erect, can retract more than last time, but not as much as when flaccid. Now I just stretching when flaccid only, kinda hard to get myself erect just to do stretching because no mood And I do my stretching while showering. And I'm not using any cream, after finish washing my penis with soap and water, then I start stretching.

It took u 8-12 months of stretching foreskin slowly to see improvements? That's a long time. And another 6-8 months of forcefully retracting while flaccid or erect?

no its not a piercing. its natural, not even my fren have this. its behind the penis gland/head. same size like those kismis fruit. it was left there bcoz if the doc remove it will cause more pain.
pink colour.

Then I should say that u are blessed with something good Oh so does ur head still look the same as before u had ur circumcision? Any difference?

It would be far cheaper if it is done in Govt. Hospital. Although, I dont think they will use the 'smartklamp' for the circumcision.....

Then again... Just go private laaaah.... Its only once in your lifetime.... Ask first if its done via the ordinary method or via 'smartklamp'

Here is an intereting read for you:

http://diariummi.blogspot.com/2011/12/smar...suai-untuk.html

Now still new mah...later after 6 months you see lar...

different looking head. bigger mah. look like the pornstar cock.

ni mcm ada pengalaman. cerita sikit.

So smartklamp tchnique is the best? I heard circumcision not good also because some doctor cut all the skin away,without leaving some skin, causing erections to be painful


So u also think circumcision would make the head lose sensitivity right?
