Problem?

Written by Bob on 09. October 1999 at 18:08:49:

I have read the site and found it quite helpful but I need some advice.
I'm 18 have just started university and of course I want to start pursueing
a sexual relationship now that i'm away from home. The only problem being that
I have a tight foreskin. When flaccid (I think thats the term) my foreskin
retracts easily over my glans but when erect the most I can pull it back is to
reveal 1-2 cm of my glans. The thing responsable for this is a part of my inner foreskin
about 2 cm in length which is very tight. When I do pull it back I get the hourglass
effect. There is also a small length of skin attaching my glans to the foreskin which
is just under the opening on my glans and this is about half a centimetre in length.
I went to see my local GP about this when I first noticed it around the age of 17
(My puberty was later than average) and the best advice I got was pull my foreskin
back every now a and then and wait and see what happens. I never really took the advice
to heart and only occasionally tried pulling it back.
Any help on diagnosis and treatment (apart from circumsicion which i'm not enthusiastic about)
I would really appreciate before I get desperate and go to a GUM clinic.

Thanks Bob
