As an answer to: Phymosis or something else? written by Steve at 11 Feb 2003 23:34:00:
Steve...The foreskin of babies and young children is normally attached to the glans as protection. When a child is circumcised this connection is forcibly sundered. When a child is left INTACT there is normally a gradual separation, which allows the foreskin to be retracted preparatory to sexual maturity and activity. In certain instances this separation is delayed into a boy's teen years.
How old are you? How large is the preputial orifice?
>I have read a few posts and I have the problem where I can't retract my foreskin back over the glans but It's not just because it's too tight a fit or whatever. The foreskin is physically fused onto the glans.
>I was wondering if this is just phymosis or something else as I haven't seen anyone describe it like this.
