As an answer to: Re: Phimosis? written by bryan at 27 Dec 2005 18:08:07:
Thanks for your reply, i having been doing some stretches and i can retract my foreskin about as far as shown the example (https://www.foreskin.org/phimosis.htm) when it is flaccid.
I cant really get any further than this because the little piece of skin (the flenulum breve i think) is only about 1/2 cm long and stops it from going any further. Also the foreskin is still very tight round the glans.
I read somewhere here that foreskin stretching can also stretch the frenulum. Is this true? or do i need to get an operation?
>Here are some links to pages that should help you. It does sound like phimosis but could be that you have a short frenulum breve (banjo string)one of the blokes on here has a website about it check the posts about frenulam breve to find it if u dont know what i talking about . Could be an infection but if you have had it your whole life i doubt it.
>Check these. Phimosis is a tight band you will be able to see when pulling back on your foreskin. The pictures linked below show it. It should be on the top part of your foreskin. I could not retract mine at all even when soft but that changed in a week of stretching, If you do this do it gently. If you have any questions including how to stretch or to help diagnose i'l be glad to reply as i have done alot of reading on this subject due to my own problem.

>>Hi,
>>Im 19 years old from the UK and just realised that it isnt normal to be unable to fully retract the foreskin. Thank you for all the articles on your site, they have been very helpful for me, although im still a bit unsure about my condition:
>>As far back as I can remember, i have never been able to fully retract my foreskin whether erect or not - however i can retract it slightly to reveal the top of my glands. My foreskin is quite flexible, but im a bit scared to try and force it to retract fully. Should I consider trying to strech the foreskin?
>>A reply would be much appreciated
>>Thanks
