Welcome to icliniq.com. The condition you have is phimosis which is tightness of foreskin prevent easy retraction. It is not usually interfering with penile growth.
Moreover, phimosis causes the situation that the prepuce traps the penis. For this reason, after surgery, patients evaluate their penile as much bigger than before.
Phimosis can cause pain, skin splitting, or a lack of sensation during sex. Using a condom and lubricants while having sex may make your penis more comfortable.
The NMC group included 72 patients (29.0%) who were circumcised during the newborn period; the non-NMC group included 176 patients (71.0%) who were circumcised after the newborn period. There was no significant difference in height, weight, and second to fourth digit ratio between both groups (Table 3).
If you have phimosis, you are more likely to get penile cancer. If left untreated, it can lead to increased swelling, and in extreme cases, gangrene, and eventually the loss of your penis.
Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.
Phimosis is normal for the uncircumcised infant/child and usually resolves around 5-7 years of age, however the child may be older.
Your partner will have no problem, but you may not get all the pleasure, as the skin or foreskin covering the glans will block the stimulation of glans. Either you will have premature ejaculation (inability to hold back the semen or control ejaculation) or erection problem.
If daily retraction is enough to loosen the foreskin, then pulling it back gently when bathing or urinating should be enough to keep the penis from any hygiene-related complications. Phimosis can be a serious and painful condition. However, it's treatable, and outcomes are usually very good.
Phimosis usually goes away on its own within the first few years of a child's life. If it causes problems – for instance, when urinating (peeing) – it may need to be treated. Using a special cream is often enough. Surgery is only rarely needed.
Yes. If you can't move the foreskin gently back into position, or if the problem starts to occur regularly, you should get medical advice. If the foreskin remains retracted for too long it can become extremely painful and may even cause permanent damage.
Paraphimosis is when the foreskin is pulled back behind the tip of the penis and becomes stuck there. The retracted foreskin and the penis become swollen, fluid can build up, and the foreskin is unable to return to its original position.
By age 17, most boys will be able to fully retract their foreskin. Phimosis can also occur if the foreskin is forced back before it is ready. This can cause a fibrous scar to form. This can stop the foreskin from retracting in the future.
Possible risks
It is usually well-tolerated and recovery is rapid. Although they are rare, complications can occur. These include bleeding, infection, narrowing of the urethral meatus, excessive or insufficient foreskin removal and preputial asymmetry, with possible need for further surgery.
25] found that the mean IELT (assessed by stopwatch) in circumcised and uncircumcised men was 6.7 minutes (range 0.7–44.1 minutes) and 6.0 minutes (range 0.5–37.4 minutes), respectively. They found that time to ejaculation was significantly less.
Having phimosis isn't necessarily a problem. It only becomes a problem when it causes symptoms. This could be when phimosis is severe and leaves an opening the size of pinhole.
Phimosis can lead to inflammation of the penis, called balanitis, or inflammation of both the glans and the foreskin, called balanoposthitis. These conditions both tend to be caused by poor hygiene. Symptoms of balanitis include: soreness, itchiness, and odor.
Changes in the actual penis structure can make getting an erection difficult. Peyronie's (a bending in the erect penis), phimosis (a tight foreskin) or a tight frenulum (the elastic piece of skin that joins the foreskin to the shaft of the penis) can all cause ED.
Most boys will be able to retract their foreskins by the time they are 5 years old, yet others will not be able to until the teen years. As a boy becomes more aware of his body, he will most likely discover how to retract his own foreskin. But foreskin retraction should never be forced.
In uncircumcised children 4 months to 12 years of age with foreskin problems, paraphimosis (0.2%) is less common than other penile disorders, such as balanitis (5.9%), irritation (3.6%), penile adhesions (1.5%), or phimosis (2.6%).
Use a topical steroid cream to help massage and soften the foreskin so that it's easier to retract. A prescription ointment or cream with 0.05 percent clobetasol propionate (Temovate) is usually recommended for this.
Adult phimosis may be caused by repeated episodes of balanitis or balanoposthitis. Such infections are commonly due to poor personal hygiene (failure to regularly clean under the foreskin). Phimosis may be a presenting symptom of early diabetes mellitus.
Phimosis is a condition associated with wrong hygiene or improper care. Once it was considered a genetic defect , but long-term observations proved it is the effect of improper body washing. Tiny children – up to the age of 2–3 years, they have a physiological foreskin “glued” to the penis' glans.
The most common clinical indication for circumcision was phimosis (75% of patients). Postoperative pain was scored as mild to moderate, including a mean of 2.4 on days 1 to 3, 2.1 on day 7 and 0.5 on day 21. Patients younger than 35 years (p = 0.025) and patients with wound infection (p = 0.036) had higher pain scores.
