Understanding How To Cope With Tight Foreskin Problems

The foreskin is a piece of skin that covers the end of the penis. If you have undergone a circumcision then it will have been removed. If you have any problems relating to your penis, such as a tight foreskin, then it can be very upsetting and embarrassing as well as painful. The only comfort you can be given is to be aware that there are treatments on offer for tight foreskin problems.

Having a tight foreskin is an actual medical condition, it is known as phimosis. If you have this then you will not be able to pull the foreskin down to reveal the tissue underneath and there is likely to be a build up of a white substance known as smegma due to a lack of washing in the area. It can also be very painful when your penis is erect.

For some men it has been a problem that they have had since their childhood while others may develop up later on due to particular infections such as thrush.

If you have a tight foreskin then forcing it back can make the problem worse as the skin can crack. It is better to gently try stretching it every night before sleeping.

If the phimosis does not go away by itself then the best option is to have an operation. The most common treatment is a circumcision. This involves a surgeon lifting up the foreskin and slicing it off. The incision is then stitched back together. For a few weeks after a circumcision the head of the penis is going to be painful. It may be wise to wear loose pants rather than tight jeans.

There is another operation available, this is known as preputioplasty. It is not as severe as a circumcision as the foreskin is simply sliced and then cross stitched as opposed to being removed completely. It sounds nasty but it will almost certainly solve your problem.
