Hi, thanks guys for your forum. Like most doctors my doctor told me circumcision. I am 16 and I could believe that in this enlightened age of medicin a doctors resonse to some tight skin is too chop it off!
So I have begun stretching, soon I will get some bethtassome because i have heard it makes stretching much easier.
I have had phimosis since birth and a I believe it is becuase I have extra forskin. The skin goes well beyond the tip of my glans.
At first I could not stretch it at all, then a few days ago I could stretch it beyond glans when flaccid, then when it was half erect and now with some effort I can pull it back just past the head on a full erection with a little pain
So I guess stretching is working for me, yet yesteday when I forced it back when erect, it hurt and it has been sore for two days. It is no longer comfortable and even painful to pull it back when flaccid even though I can do it.
Should I lay off the stretching for a few days allow it to heal, or should I keep stetching until it gets better, does it getting sore mean I have a problem and should not stretch anymore and get surgery.
Has this happened to anyone here
