As an answer to: Can't retract foreskin. What will my doctor want to see? written by Sean at 21 Oct 2000 14:21:57:

I am 27 and have just had a partial dorsal slit and frenuloplasty for the same problem - I also had the same symptoms. The urologist didn't expect me to get an erection which would have been impossible anyway!!

He was trying to push a full circumcision which I didn't want so he wasn't very helpful in recommending partial dorsal slit, but he agreed saying I could have a circumcision if it didn't work. I can't tell you yet if it has worked as the op was 5 days ago and the thought of having sex right now makes me feel faint!

>I am a 28 year old male and I have never been able to retract my foreskin when errect (beyond half way). I can do it fine when limp, but it is painful and impossible during errection. Despite months of forceful and repeated attempts to stretch it when errect, it makes no difference.
>The thing is - I don't mid seeing a doctor but what if he can't help me unless I show him what the problem is? I mean, surely he can't expect me to get an errection in front of him!? Will he just take my word for it? I am VERY worried that he won't treat me unless I show him the problem.
>Also - I think that the head of my penis must be slightly deformed because I cannot urinate straight when I roll my foreskin back - it literally sprays in about 4 different directions and I get real messy!
