As an answer to: So I went to see my urologist and he told me... written by Kenny at 27 Feb 2004 17:52:51:
>A little while back I wrote here that I had difficulty with retraction while erect (I can retract while flaccid). Fearing that I may have phimosis, I went to see my doctor.
>After explaining my problem to him, he took a look at my penis (which included retracting it while flaccid). Afterwards he said nothing is wrong with me (esp. since I don't have a phimotic ring or infection). He's says that all I have is a opening that is a bit small and thus it's hard to retract when erect. He said a circumcision would be unnecessary in my case. He also did not see a need to prescribe me creams such as Betamethasone since those are for folks who really do have phimosis.
>He suggested that I come back to him if I start having problems such as pain or extreme discomfort during intercourse.
>Anyway I feel a bit relieved. I'm also guessing that if I do some stretching exercises my problem should improve a bit as well.

>KennyCongrats, both on having a mostly-working foreskin and a doctor worth keeping. Yes, stretches will do the job. Spend a few minutes at a time several times a day pulling the foreskin wider - taut but not painful. You should be fine in short order.
