As an answer to: 14 years old, do i have phimosis? HELP!! written by bill williams at 16 May 2003 22:35:43:
>Hey, im 14 years old, I am uncircumcised and i can only retract the foreskin fully when it isnt hard. when i am erect i can only get about 1/2 retracted, and im afraid if i try and go any further it will rip the skin or it will get stuck behind the head. are there any home remedys or things i can buy over the counter to be able to allow me to retract it or do i have to see a doctor.?? please help me
That you are able to fully retract your foreskin when flaccid and partially while erect indicates that a minimum of simple stretching using only your fingers should be enough to render your penis completely functional in short time. Go to Jim's site for detailed instructions. See: http://www.network54/Hide/Forum/244184
You may consult a doctor if you wish, but be warned that few of them know anything about the foreskin: its anatomy and function. When they are presented with one for which retractability presents difficulties, they usually grab their knives in panic and begin cutting. It's about all they know.
Even less knowledgeable about penile anatomy and problems thereof are most parents. If your parents were educated on the subject they would have long ago instructed you in the process of insuring your retractability. I'd suggest that before you speak with them, (seeing their previous delinquency in this matter) that you thoroughly educate yourself on the subject so that you can educate them before they panic and force genital mutilation upon you.
Good luck, and keep us informed.
