Fellow phimosis-fags: anyone else here get cut cause it couldn't get fixed any other way? I know it's not too uncommon...

A couple friends had it done for this reason, at the advice of their doctor. Recovery sounded miserable, but they're fine now.

Yep I got mine done in August of 2015. Stopped being able to pull the skin back when I was about 15-16 and got cut at 22

that sounds about right. sucks not being able to use it for a month or so.

get rekt for being an unclean piece of shit

This is going to sound really dumb but I only found out that the foreskin was supposed to retract behind the head of the penis a few weeks ago.

For some reason just assumed that everyone in porn (and the people posting pictures of their dicks) was circumcised.

>turns out my dick is weird

I was the same for a long time bro. Go see a doctor about it, they don't always have to operate

My doc prescribed steroid creams and stretching which she said work on most people. I had to get cut though.

how far back can you get it?

I've been doing stretching exercises for a month with a topical steroid cream and it's working brilliantly. Being in Ireland I wouldn't think that circumcision was the go to but they said I'd have to have it done and that stretching doesn't work. Fucking stupid urologist only wanted a pay check.

Damn, if that's improvement, how tight was it before?

Not very far, I can expose a little bit of the head and the some of the red thingy on the underside (not great on dick terminology)

I can pull it back further when I'm erect compared to flaccid

frenulum, i think? got a pic?

It wasn't much tighter but I have noticed an improvement. In hindsight "brilliantly" maybe wasn't the right word to use.

Frenulum is correct, I don't have a picture and I don't really feel like taking one. Sadly it's also not an easy thing to describe so you might have to use some imagination

Probably comparable to this I guess

what are you going to do if it doesn't get much better?

Circumcision or partial circ, but I've heard bad things about having a partial done so probably just get a loose(?) circ.

loose can kind of look weird, i think. tight works/feels good for me.

How would you go about asking about getting circumcised? I've just turned 18 and would prefer my dick to not be fucked up because of my phimosis. Would you just go to your doctor and they'll refer you to someone else to help you?

That's usually how it goes with things that require a specialist. Have you already talked to your regular doc about it?

who is peeking behind the door?

I went to the doc and explained that I couldn't pull the foreskin back. She gave a quick exam then referred to urologist. Urologist did quick exam too and booked me in. Was pretty simple all things considered.

Not yet. I keep putting it off but I know the sooner it gets checked the better

pretty much this. not bad, unless you get embarrassed having your junk/foreskin handled by a doctor.

That's pretty reassuring. Thanks

Is there a possibility that they might remove too much skin in a tight circ? And would a loose circ not be a less drastic change from having a foreskin?

I mean it's not an experience i've dealt with before but considering its for the best I will probably get over the initial awkwardness about it

hey, worst thing that could happen is you get hard and they see how tight it actually is

I mean, there's a risk in getting it cut anyway, but risk in NOT getting it done too. Loose circ is probably less drastic, but just looks wrinkled. Doc could tell you more, probably.

When I went in I was so scared about getting hard that the anxiety stopped me from getting hard which was good lol

Plus like I said they will examine you for less than 1 minute they just want to confirm what you have told them

How bad was the operation?

operation itself was fine, recovery sucked. you don't realise how many boners you get in your sleep until you wake up 5 times a night screaming with stitches tearing in your dick

i'm very grateful i got it done though, sex life and confidence have improved 1000% and sex feels so much better

operation wasn't terrible for me, but it's weird seeing part of your dick getting cut. i could feel it happening, but it's not like it was painful
