Hi Paul...Thank you so much for your reply. I have already fixed with that problem. No I feel that I am having one more problem which I noticed yesterday by reading the articles from this site.
It is about the phimotic ring. I was trying to locate where it was and I couldn't find it till yesterday. When I retract back the skin I could not see any rings except some small black coloured nerves running through the inner skin. But later I found a ring like thing just behind my glans. It doesn't give me any pain or discomfort but when fully erect sometimes I feel a bit of pressure inside my glans and I think that the glans have swollen a bit more when erect. Do you think that it is paraphimosis? The foreskin I am able to retract back fully but that ring has gone to the front of inner foreskin when retracted. What I understood from the site is that it should be on the middle of inner and outer skin - Isn't it?.
I think I was having this for a long time and I had read from your site that it is a dangerous condition where the glans will be completely lost unless you do an operation. I am scared that whether something has happened to my glans as I had this condition for a long time may be one year or so? How will I check that whether I have some problem with my glans or not. I am getting proper erections and without any pain or so but sometimes a feel of bit pressure inside the glans.
Do you suggest to go for an emergency operation straight away?
I would really appreciate if you could send me a reply regarding this.
Regards,
Hari
