My Foreskin is not retracting during erection. What to do?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I can stretch my penis foreskin completely and I wash it every day. But, I noticed that during erection I am unable to retract my foreskin. I feel that I am suffering from phimosis. What can I do now? Do I need to undergo circumcision? I have seen the procedure on the internet and it looks very scary. Since I am a fitness model, I go to the gym and workout heavy every day. If I undergo circumcision, then how many days I should take rest? Is there any way to cure it naturally?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I think you should undergo circumcision, because it may cause complication like paraphimosis later. Circumcision is a very simple and minor operation, though it looks horrifying to you. It will be done under anesthesia, and so you will not have any pain. Yes, you will require rest of five days post surgery.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I thank you for the positive advice. I was terrified because my parents were not at all comfortable with circumcision. Which is the most advanced technique for this surgery? Kindly guide me regarding this. Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Kindly go to a urologist in a good hospital. As it is a minor surgery, there is no need to worry about technique as all doctors do it with the same procedure. Any urologist will be able to do it with excellent result. Also, explain to your parents that there is nothing to worry about circumcision. It is a minor surgery and not all harmful.
