19 year old with tight foreskin

[DAlan]

Hi. I figure this is a good spot to post a question. I'm 19 years old with a tight foreskin. I've tried the stretches but that didn't work. I'm scared of getting circumsized after hearing all the horrible stories. And when I say tight foreskin, I mean that while flacid it can pulled back about half an inch, and while erect less than that, but it isn't tight enough to cause pain.

Any information on alternative methods would be grealy apreciated.

Well- you can just put your fears of circumcision out of our head... no matter what- you don't need to be circumcised. There are lots of conservative treatments available and your fear of circumcision seems to be holding you back from just going to the Dr and getting some help.

Even if all of those treatments failed- there is a surgery available that is not circumcision- and is NOT a dorsal slit- the surgical result looks 100% normal. I'm not suggesting that you need surgery- I'm saying that circumcision is totally not even on the radar screen of dealing with this- so just stop worrying about it.

I hope that you find something at CIRP that sounds like a treatment that will work for you, emotionally and physically. I hope that you can find a Dr. who is respectful and kind... as well as really up to date on the treatments.

Love Sarah

The good news is that stretching works 99%+ of the time. It may be that you have not done it regularly enough or often enough or long enough. You may want to contact your doctor for some betamethesone .05% creme. It will speed up the process. Hang in there!
