as a child i never liked pulling my foreskin back because it hurt, as a result of this my forskin became atatched by a layer of skin to the rim of my bellend, therefore we went to a doctor and had the layer of skin cut of, however years later this layer of skin grew back and it was only until recently i realised it was happening! somehow i managed to separate this bit of skin by force without telling anyone, and thankfully its all alright now, what is this called?
phimosis should be corrected by nonsurgical methods. simply tensioning the foreskin is a lateral direction for a month or so, by a specula or the fingers will mitosis the foreskin and dartos/peripenic muscle and allow the glans to come and go as the individual wants.
thnks for this side and thnks to channel 4
Sometime ago during sex my penis ruptured at the end, the piece of skin to the foreskin. I left it to heal and over a period of time the skin tightend so much that everytime I had an erection the skin just split and bled, I beleive it is called a phomosis, If you have any tightening of the foreskin and you have pain after intercourse seek medical help. I had my circ done on the NHS and it has been fine. I had suffered months of painful sex, particularly after ejaculation where the pain was intensified.
do not put it off, see your GP as it will not improve and only get worse!!
This whole series is something that should have been made years ago. Well done for this bravery of broadcasting. One wonders what the BBC were doing when they were busy destroying one of the greatest public broadcasting television services in the world. Well done Chanel 4 If you think this is pb it certainly is!
I was circumcised at 27 due to a tightening of the foreskin. Although it has been bebeficial I can't say I am fully happy with the end result.Functionally it still works! Cosmetically the woulds healed with huge scar like tram-lines which have left me conscious and embarassed.I was given little information on aftercare and it got infected badly. Anyone having this operation done, although necessary, I would do my 'homework' and find a skilled surgeon, even a cosmetic one. There are 1-2 around but would be worth paying to achieve peace of mind.
Last week during unprotected sex my frenulum split it's wasn't sore to start with, when it happened actually didn't realise until after when I was getting a shower and it started stinging, it used to hurt a bit when during sex when my partner was being a bit rough but this is the first time it has happened. It seems to be healing ok i've been using antibacterial wipes and antibacterial cream to help it heal but when I pull the foreskin back to clean it the rip starts to get red and sting, i've read on the net that it can take a couple of week for it to heal but i'm actually afraid of having sex with my partner in the future incase it happens again is this just paranoia or would it be easier to get circumcised? If anybody can advise it would be appreciated!!!
As a child my foreskin wouldn't retract at all. As a teenager it would partially, but was adhered to the corona, so i could never fully expose the ridge around the head. I was circumcised while at university when i was 19. the surgeon cut quite far back, so i have about an inch of inner skin behind the now, fully exposed head, and a scar running right around my penis, about half way up it's length. i'm much happier now, and it looks great too.
I was circumcised at the age of 53 as a result of being diagnosed with BXO.The surgeon cut fairly high leaving the glans exposed most of the time.A biopsy was carried on removed piece of skin as he considered BXO to be a pre-cancerous con-dition,the test proved negative,thankfully.
Eight weeks everything was in full working order,and 4 years later the has been no reoccurence.
this might sound weird but when i was 11 me and my cousin cut our foreski of together because a girl in our class told us it was cleaner and we would get more girls. silly enough me and my cousin done it. ive regreted it all my life we got rushed to hospital and got our penis's stiched up. im not embarrassed by this anymore only by the fact that i listened to that girl in my class, now i get awful smegma and really need help with this problem. im now 34 i thought everything would be ok by now but whats with the male discharge?...
