Que. A few weeks ago, I started to have trouble pulling back my foreskin. It seems like its attached to the penis. It's really painful when I have sex. What can I do?
Ans. If you have a tight foreskin, you could try easing it back when you are in the bath using soap. Make sure you do this slowly and gently to avoid any further pain. This may gradually stretch the foreskin until it can pass back over the rim of the head. The trick to the 'gentle stretching' technique is to pull the foreskin back just a little further each day. This can be done easier in the bath because the warm water tends to make the skin more flexible. It is very important not to rush the process. Pulling it back far enough to hurt can create small tears in the foreskin, which can make the problem worse. So be patient and do it bit by bit.

i had the same problem,i tried the same trick and lotion,its really irritating use this soap trick all the time, so one day i got angry and decided to get rid of this problem once and all, so i went to a doctor and told me to get rid of it, so he preferred a surgeon and asked me to go and circumsize this foreskin through operation, i did so and now i dont have this problem, this foreskin was a load on my penis, its gone forever now! what a relief and iam much much enjoying my sex life now, my gf has no problem now when she gives me a oral job.

Also the tight foreskin should not be pulled back violently because it may cause a constriction ring around the glans penis and severely hamper its blood supply.

Hello,
Please consult the doctor immediately,as this may be caused due to extra growth of the skin or this may be coz of diabetes.In ur case i think this is coz of extra growth of skin.

This could be because you didn't used to clean your penis properly after ejeculating. Soap is a good option and make sure to clean penis throughly by moving foreskin up after having sex. This can cause serious problems if not taken care of at the beginning.

I had the same problem. This problem can be solved by a small surgical operation called frenoplasty. Lookup wikipedia for more information on it.

Hi.. this could be a problem called Phimosis.. ask a Doctor about it.
And like Shriram said, it can be fixed by circumcism.

Avoid doc as far as possible. When i had this problem i too thought of going for a circumcision operation. However with little care you could easily avoid this. While masturbating use a lot of baby oil and gently try moving forskin back as far as you could go. Try this for 2 weeks and you'll notice the difference.
Good luck.
Take surgery as last operation.

It depends upon ur age factor.
(01) if u r very young then jus go for the circumsession
(02) If u r over 30 then u have an issue. Its a condition called Phimosis. The cause of the condition can be cause of many reasons. The worst fears are Phimosis Balantis is a symptom of DIABETES and u need to check ur pre and post sugar levels to rule out DIABTES.
If ur sugar management is bad u get this kind of symptoms.

circumcision is the best way to go. It is a simple procedure n will take just a few days to get over with the suture etc. More than 90% of american males babies r circumcised these days and is medically recommended in india also.
As som1 pointed out, if the foreskin wraps tightly around the rim n doesn't go forward even after the penis shrinks, it can stop blood flow n is a very very serious problem - consult a doctor within a few hours!

I am having this poblem too. Thing is i think i've been having this problem from the begining, only now i know that theres many who are suffering the same situation. LIke some1 mentioned earlier, there is a medical procedure to overcome this. But the other method is to use soap n bring it back n close up while in bath for some time until its not tight anymore. I've tried the bathroom excercise method, n belive me its a real pain in the ass. It always feels wierdly painful to bring it back. But once its sucessfull and the penis starts to erect to its full size, i can feel the pain of its constricting at the base. Really feel like crap.
