However, in this repackaged consultation from series one, Dr Christian Jessen explains exactly what it is and what treatment is available to make life more comfortable.

i am 22 yearold i have found two lumps on my balls sometimes they are sore had it for a few years now i dnt now wot it is i also get a bit of pain at bottem of my tummy but i am to skerd to go to the doctor cn u plz tell me wot u fink it is
well, i had very tight foreskin, so much so it wouldn't reract even when flacid. Sometimes after sex i would end up with little tears in the skin which were very sore. Went to the doc, got sent to private hospital and 3 weeks later am pretty well healed. Stitches have all gone and it seems all good.
Was recommended heavy doses of vitamin c to speed recovery and seem to be about 5 days ahead of normal.
See your dr if at all worried, its what we pay ur taxes for.
Im 15, my foreskin is slightly too long for my penis and I can't seem to pull it down past the end of my penis. Is this a problem? How do I make it so that it will go down?
Hi, I'm 25 and have a tight foreskin. Flaccid, i can easily pull back the foreskin for cleaning of the penis but when erect i can barely retract it past the head, it feels tight and uncomfortable during intercourse. I have consulted my GP about it who prescribed me some steroid cream to thin the skin and told me to stretch. This doesnt appear to have worked. I cant really show him whats wrong as the problem only occurs when i'm erect. Advice please!
hi im 15 and i seem to have quiet a long foreskin and i cant really pull my foreskin that far, but i can pull it far enough to see the tip of my penis is this normal??? i have had it for years and it doesnt hurt i just cant seem to pull my foreskin right down.
I am 54 but had my circ in 2002. I feel that too much skin was removed and healing was hampered. The 'disolvable' stitches didnt fully disolve and I felt like a headgehog was loose in my pants as the stitch knots took too long to disolve so I ended up removing them myself some weeks post-op. Anyway, I feel my penis has shrunk, my confidence and libido is zero and my erections are pathetic. I havent has intercourse for nearly 3 years as I am estranged from my wife since over 2 years ago. I know I should go to the doctor but never seem to have the time. Probably too late to do anything about it now? So I recommend that IF anyone reading this is not sure or is not happy with the way their op went, go see your doc, SPEAK UP and dont ignore it. Else it will destroy your confidence.
hi, i'm 23 years old and my foreskin has always been a little tight when having an erection. My problem is the head of my penis is always very tender and has been for as long as i can remember. It can be painful to touch which makes oral sex a no go ever! Will a circumcision help? Thanks in advance!
i was circumcised about 3 weeks ago now its heal up very well all the stitches have fallen out and im happy with the result but there are some hard little lumps just below where the fireskin was removed (inbetween the the wound and teh base of my penis) they are a bit sore and im just wondering if this is normal im going back to the hospital in a few weeks for a check up but should i wait for that or is something i should have checked out sooner?
thanks.
i am 14 and cannot pull my foreskin back and it is tight, will i grow out of this and will this affect anything else.
Im 13 and my fore skin has started to split from the head of my penis, is this normal or do i need to see a doctor ??
