In reviewing my problem I cannot retract my foreskin when erect and when I try too it hurts really badly. I was able to stretch it for a while but now it is tight again. I do not see a ring around it (phimosis) but that does not mean that it is not there. The glands have been getting sore and a bit red ( redder than usual) Cleaning has become a problem and the skin which attaches to the glands is very short and hurts when retracted. I though it was getting better but it seems like it has become worse over the past 2 seeks. I am really sore afer intercourse with my wife too. this is the recent problem - I have tried hydrocortison cream and no results. this is the problem and the urologist says maybe a full circ would be the best. At least I would not have these problems any more. I just wanted to know about intercourse with my wife after the circ. Everyone says it is less sensitive etc. just wanted to know what people thought and learn from their experiences. Thanks for listening.
