Guys, if ur foreskin is hard to retract it’s NOT necessary for surgery, I had this problem a couple months ago at age 16 and I was scared too. U gotta have the courage to speak up and tell ur parents even if it doesn’t sound right, they won’t care and will listen trust me. What I recommend is going to the doctor and getting the ointment cream they suggest. Also applying Organic coconut oil helps ALOT. I did it while showering with warm water and pulled it back slowly and slowly with the oil. Then applied the ointment cream after showering and pulled it back as far as I can. Eventually I was able to pull it back all the way. Yes it will hurt at first, but it takes some courage to get it done so don’t be scared! Do this for as long as u need and u will see results. I was so close from telling my doctor to get me circumcised bc of all the ppl saying it’s better here and that but what they don’t tell u is the side affects it brings. I thank my mom a lot for supporting me. Hopes this helps and gets to anyone that needs help

I had this problem, when I went for a medical the doctor made a small incision in my foreskin so it could be pulled back that is where it has stayed all these years. I have not had any further problems. Your videos are always so interesting thank you for making them. Xx

Yeah I’m 21 and I can’t pull my foreskin down at all, it’s always been at the very tip, I’ve had this all my life.

I've restored my foreskin via tugging methods, so I can attest that the principle of skin expansion works. As in, if a foreskin is tight, entirely possible to grow it to be less tight. No need to amputate.

I tried explaining this to my kids when they were younger about 7 and 9 but was highly awkward in some ways. Found out that the best way ti show them was by placing a sock over my hand and rolling it up to look like the foreskin area. It was a practical way to show them how to clean that area. I did not know if this until I was 17!?! Wish someone explained it to me when I was a kid.

I was diagnosed with phimosis at the age of 10, and was given an overly aggressive circumcision, which took most of my penile skin, resulting in a lifetime of painful erections, skin tears, bleeding, and scarring. I’m 61 years old now. I wish we would’ve tried other treatments for the phimosis in 1972. After the surgery, I was shocked how bruised it looked and was in much pain for a long time as the sutures dissolved. I became a very insecure child and suffered from PTSD. I wish I was given a choice.

I appreciate the education you share in every video you post.

Im glad you credited forced retraction to causing phimosis later in life. So often I see parents of intact children who have recurrent infections and issues and when I ask, it turns out they've been forcibly retracting them to clean the whole time. The average age of retraction is actually 10 1/2, with a range of normal from toddler age to early adulthood. Inability to retract is not a medical emergency if there is no infection or other issue present.

The most gorgeous urologist in the whole world.

One of the ways to reduce phimosis is simply to stretch the skin as often as possible.

Maybe I was gifted. No circumscission, and no tight foreskin.

I am restoring my foreskin and have met others online who have successfully treated their phimosis be gently and gradually stretching the phimotic ring. The process involves cellular mitosis. There are actually kits that men I've talked to have used to gradually stretch the opening of their phimotic foreskins.

Thanks Rena! :-) I believe it takes a lot of courage to speak about such things.

I got rid of a severe Phimosis (1) used Nystatin-Triamcinolone 0.1% cream prescribed by a Urologist (2) used OTC anti-septic cream if skin becomes red, tender, & bloody (3) daily coconut oil & Ny-Tri cream as needed

The gumba in thumbnail is gold 😂

The global AVERAGE age at which an intact boy first sees his glans is 10.4 years. To suggest that childhood "physiological phimosis" resolve itself by 7 is to invite harmful unnecessary interventions.

I am 20 and i didnt know that foreskin should go back behind the head until few days back. I never had any problem in urination or masturbation. In just few days of stretching and cleaning it in warn water, it is easily going behind the head and can be pulled back with some difficulty. I am sure circumcision won't be required

What kind of steroid cream is best recommended ? & where can I buy some ?

A video about foreskin restoration would be interesting. I have heard about some men doing that but never heard a physicians perspective.

Mine got stuck twice but my doctor didn't worry a lot, I waited for some days and it went back by itself. I'm thinking about circumsision but I'm afraid I lose my very nice sensitivity. The sensitivity I get during sex is top notch.

seeing this doctor makes my skin get tight.

I am 29 and had a circumcision 6 months ago. I suffered from phimosis which meant I couldn’t retract my foreskin at all. I knew something wasn’t right for years but out of embarrassment I didn’t get it looked at until last year. There was sensitivity after the operation, however the pain was not too bad really. The difficulty was keeping the wound dry and just looking after it properly with bandages and there was some bleeding from stitches following erections before the stitches healed fully. I was back at in the office the next day, in the gym a week after and running/playing competitive sport 3 weeks after. I have found the sensitivity is improved, sex feels 10 x better and it is also much more hygienic. With phimosis I found some dripping after urinating which has also totally been resolved. In short, don’t worry if you need a circumcision, there is nothing to be embarrassed about and you will be much happier after getting it sorted. I just wish I would’ve done it sooner. It took about a week before it eased any noticeable amount but even then it was still sensitive. In the first few days I kept the bandage on and wore loose fitting clothes. When the bandage the doctor put on came off I began applying a bandage myself every morning to stop it rubbing in my underwear and then slept naked to get used to it rubbing against bed sheets etc as I was sleeping.

Thanks so much my son just told me about this problem and I didn’t know what to do cause I’m a single mom I’ll get him to the doctor

I have a question. Why is full tissue amputation the next step after steroid cream? Preputioplasty is 100% effective in treating phimosis. There is no excuse for not utilizing that procedure. If a patient had a paronychia, and topical antibiotics didn't resolve the issue, would you recommend amputation at the first knuckle?...or would you recommend the universally accepted standard in medicine of taking the less invasive course and simply removing a small portion of the nail?

I have had this for 2+ years now, didnt know it was dangerous. So scared going to the doctor now.

I had this problem twice. Once when I was about 5, my parents took me to a doctor who forceable pulled the skin back (no memory of this) and my mom a couple times a day for a week or so, applying some salve to to (I sort of remember this). Then a second time when I was around 12 . I didn’t tell anyone, and just worked on pulling it back a little at a time until done. Took around a week or two. Not sure what caused it, but since that time I always made sure it was kept throughly washed.

I’m 28 and my foreskin was rarely pulled back. I’ve always had intercourse with a condom and even the times I didn’t, I never pulled it back and didn’t experience pain. But with my current partner, she pulls it back even slowly, the head hurts, when it shouldn’t. I have practiced pulling it back and forward a few times a day and it seems to work after a couple times then gets tight again after a couple minutes. I can even see where the fore skin fully retracts that it’s black and blue. So I’m definitely trying this steroid cream and hopefully it will prevent a circumcision.

Could you post a video for circumcised men that want to restore? Thanks.

She´s such a tease - I just love her.

I was unfortunate enough to get paraphimosis when I was 17 and actually had to go to Urgent Care... having them pull the foreskin back over the head was EXCRUCIATING. I saw my doctor the next day and we scheduled essentially an emergency circumcision for about week later.

Had this problem as a young man and the only solution was a full circumcision surgery at the age of 18. Very painful and took almost two weeks to recover.

Your information is fantastic! I was circumcised at birth but am in the process of restoring my foreskin and would love to see a video about the topic of foreskin restoration (not surgical) if it's something you could cover. Thanks!

Here’s what circumcision does to a man, as described in a leading college anatomy textbook: “The prepuce [foreskin] is the most densely innervated and sensitive region of the penis, with an abundance of tactile corpuscles and nerves concentrated in ridges on its proximal inner surface. Circumcision thus removes the most sensitive part of the penis. The exposed mucous membrane of the glans then transforms to a thin, drier, and less sensitive epidermis.” Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, Kenneth Saladin (McGraw-Hill, 8th ed.), p. 1037

Ah finally someone else in my boat in posts below. Never had infections or issues having to retract the uncircumsized skin and Ive found it kind of naturally goes down enough when it gets really warmed up during intimacy anyways. Im guessing the intense focused heat helps with the flexbility of the skin. Any comment on this, is it just that we are fortunate enough it works like this for us?

Phimocure rings + stretching over time can def work! Gluck fellas!

Whether circumcision is good or bad for infant males is beside the point. It is an "optional" procedure done without the patient's permission. If an adult male decides to get circumcised, fine.

🤔.. how about a video on the piece of skin that connects the peeled back skin to the bottom of the head.

If you eliminate red meat from your diet, you may suffer. When I left the nightmare starch diet and raw diet, and started to eat meat with adequate fat, my foreskin was smooth as anything to slide forward an back. I did the ointment thing to no avail. Smegma accumulates through the day and night when I eat rice, potatoes and other grains. When I eat meat, vegetables and some fruit, the foreskin behaves and there is hardly any smegma. Women get it too guys. Smegma has a very distinct smell. Eat meat for a healthier foreskin. Thanks Dr. Malik. I hope you learned something new. I am sixty eight.😊

I never was circumcised and my wife did not know it for a long time

I got cut at 21 due to having phimosis. I had had it my whole life; I'd never been able to retract my foreskin. Tried the steroid cream and stretching but I got nowhere with it. Very happy with the outcome. Feels a lot better having the head and inner foreskin exposed, and I think it looks more aesthetically pleasing cut.

Pain with erection Problem with urination Recurrent urinary tract infections Don't have poor hygiene under the foreskin Don't have diabetes Consider circumsion

*You (usually) don't chop somebody's head off to "treat" a reoccurring headache.* There are various incision techniques that work well in most cases and that mean that the patient will keep the nerve endings in the inner prepuce that are a key stimulus necessary to orgasm. What gets frequently overlooked , is the fact that with age, as testosterone levels decrease, erections will get weaker and medications to reduce blood pressure will often impair the ability to reach an orgasm, requiring longer and stronger (mechanical) stimuli during sex. As standard ("efficient") circumcision techniques usually reduce the number of penile nerve endings quite drastically, this can lead to significant and very unnecessary problems later in life.

This is an important video, especially for older adult males. I am 74 years old today and I had that problem 3 years ago, I ended up in the hospital and got circumcized. Best thig I ever did.

I would like Dr Malik to tell us how important it is to keep the Foreskin and tell us why babies are still dying from circumcision in 21st century America. The ignorance that surrounds this subject is unbelievable.

Thank you Dr. Rena Malik for all your Expert advise/comments. Love you.

Hi Dr. Malik, just wondering who would be the best specialist to see in an attempt to rectify raised scarring from a circumcision? The scar is quite old however. Thanks

I remember when I was about 5 or younger. My mother told me if i didn't pull it back often it would close and i wouldn't be able to pee. Scared me into doing it and never had any problems with it.

please do one on foreskin thats been flayed, im in a lot of pain

I have this and currently have the reoccurring water infection

Lmao the goomba pic made my day

I’ve heard that if the foreskin was forced back before it was ready as a young child it is more likely to create scar tissue later in life which can lead to phimosis.

I love your videos, Rena !!!!

Circumcision scars won't go away

Hello to everyone, for the ones suffering from phimosis, and for the ones who are here just out of curiosity. I see that many have been asking bout what it is like to get the phimosis treated with surgery and what was it like and if it was painful. I had my phimosis treated with surgery yesterday, and as someone who feared the procedure but had to go through with it anyways I would like to share y experience with everyone, so that if you happen to be wondering about the same things I had in my mind before the treatment, you could get some consolation from this. So let me start from the beginning. I went to for a doctor cause my penis was slightly infected and the doctor told me that I should have a very small surgery (Triple incision to treat phimosis) done for the foresking which would help to get rid of the problem. Hearing that made my heart rate go through the roof but never the less i agreed, and fast forward couple of weeks to the day of the surgery there i was in the waiting room, waiting to get it all over with. So in the surgery day i was being prepped for the surgery extremely well, i was given spinal anesthesia (sounds rough but was the simplest thing and didn't hurt at all) after which i went 100% numb from waist down, couldn't feel a single thing. Then the surgeon came, i listened him chatting with the other hospital staff in the operating room and waited for him to start operating when he said to me, okay all done and everything is working now. It took literally 15 minutes and it was over. There was no pain at any point, and after all the anesthesia wore off i walked out of the hospital and went home with my family. Back at home i took few painkillers, but sofar i have not felt any pain at all, slight discomfort but i feel that same discomfort when i have to exercise or read a boring ass book so its quite tolerable really lol. But no really, there is no pain during the operation and prettymuch no pain afterwards either, and the results from the treatment are only positive. So to anyone who is in a need of a surgery to get their phimosis treated, i highly suggest it! It is simple, fast, effective and painless and after that the quality of your life will definitely go up! Hope this helped, cheers! -Matt

Ouch my head! I never heard of this...I was circumcised at birth so I never had to learn this 😄

Constant problems with soreness, itchiness and was getting worse. Circumcision worked, although the hospital insisted I was able to pass urine before they discharged me. That is not easy when it feels like a tennis ball!

Upto the age of 13 I had this issue, I'd lay soaking in a warm bath, I'd use a squeezy Jif lemon bottle (the ones shaped like a lemon) It was empty of lemon juice, and thoroughly cleaned out. I'd use warm clean water and squeeze it into my foreskin, initially to clean it and the tip of my penis, as i was unable to retract the skin. I'd pull my foreskin over the exit of the bottle and gently squirt water under my foreskin gradually building pressure up in my foreskin. My foreskin would be inflated by the water like a balloon, gently stretching the foreskin. After almost 4 months doing this on a daily basis, without injury or any other intervention, without pain or injury, I eventually was able to fully retract my foreskin. Just keep patient, slow steady progress, remember if it is to uncomfortable, slow down, rest a few days and start slowly and gently again

betamethasone ointment is the topical steroid of choice when you are trying to stretch the phimotic band. it has fallen out of favor by dermatoligists because it brakes down the matrix of the skin more so than other topical steroids. but in this case, that is ecactly what you want ! if u try a stretching reutine , its important proceed slowliy and gentle . because ir you damage or tear thr foreskin while trying to stretch it. the skin will reflexively contact, making ithe problem worse.

Thanks ma'am, i was so worried, I'm just 17 , but now I'm feeling okay 😊

"Issz schie tallkinh abavs phimosis inn fiemaels, maels ar booth?"

I have a phimosis Thank you for scaring me

I know when I go swimming everything gets smaller. 😂

America: Doctor, you got phimosis you need to get that foreskin cut off bruh Brasil: Doctor, you got phimosis put this cream on for a few weeks & you’ll be aight bruh Difference in cultures i guess !!

Is it necessary to get it fixed? Im still young but ive had phimosis all my life. I dont feel any pain only when I try to pull it back.

my name is char and thanks for the tutorial

I am 19 yrs please anyone tell me See, when ma pp is stay small i can pull and push both it's not a problem. But when it gets hard i can push it through only till my heads open i can't go further If i do stretch can I be able to get through.this?

Hello Dr Malik, I was wondering, what are your thoughts on Preputioplasty as an alternative to circumcision? Is it worth it? Thank you.

Adult circumcision. New fear unlocked

Thank u for this Dr

I wish i still had my foreskin :( . Wasn't my choice to have it removed

Can you please make a video on how to identify short frenulum? and can it be solved by stretching exercises?

i can pull my foreskin back when flaccid but ive only done it once and i had a hard time pulling it back up. my penis is very sensitive and it hurts very bad even if i touch the glans softly. so i dont want to pull the foreskin back again to clean it because im scared i wont be able to pull it back up

Couldn't a dorsal slit treat phimosis before a full foreskin amputation is actually necessary?

At age 11 I got in trouble at the medical examination to enter the swimming pool bc I couldn't pull back the foreskin. They had scheduled me for circumcision but I knew somehow I would never get comfortable in my own clothes with a skinless shaft, so I tried for days and days any free time I had to pull back and again it was painful but as weeks passed I gained a few milimiters until one night I went for it (something comparable to a hymen's rupture I guess) and pulled the skin all the way, the head finally uncovered!! Now a mid-aged man, I still feel the tightness of skin sometimes, so I use Liquid Vitamin E which makes the skin super comfortable, flexible and gives me immediate erections and pleasure

Right after you pee get a wet wipe and clean your penis completely. Then apply 91% alcohol isopropyl on another wet wipe and clean again. I did that for about 3-4 days and my skin began to heal. My skin was in truly bad shape the alcohol would burn me terribly but slowly it got better and better until it became easier to pull back. I did a lot of reading on this subject, it's the left over pee that causes it. So make sure that every time you go pee that you are truly empty then apply the steps. Get well everyone this was truly scary for me.

My forskin can be pulled back but the tip is very sensitive should i pull it back im 14

my foreskin isnt tight at all, i can pull it back but not all the way , its something behind my glans that is atached to the foreskin that doesnt let me pull it back

When I'm soft I can pull it down but when I'm hard I can't pull it down. I don't get any pain or any discomfort when I'm just hard.

I had this problem for around two years,we tried cream,pills,etc,the smell and itching were horrible. Once I got cut,the smell and itching and other issues were gone!

Sounds horrible. Uncircumcised man here, I never heard of such a thing and hope it never happens. I'll try to keep it moving ;-)

im having phimosis but dont have any problem with it.....is it compulsory to do circumcision?im unable to decide n till now not refered to any doctor or used any cream......

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON FORESKIN RESTORATION. ALSO, SHOULD RX STEROID CREAM BE USED WITH RESTORATION?

I'm having a particular situation. The foreskin easily going backward when it's not erect. But it won't go past the glans when erect to the maximum size. How to pull the foreskin past the glans?

Hi Rena

I have phimosis i m 27 and i dont have any problem with that but i dont know about how my sex life will effect by it.

Ugh... glad I'm circumcised

Hottest doctor i know.

I am 17 years old, and a couple of times when I was younger it happened that I couldn't pull the foreskin back. Can I try to leave the foreskin back or not?

Regarding phimosis: The operational procedure I developed for myself, worked for me. I'm not interested in performing these operations on other people although obviously I could explain how to. It's 100% common sense based self-help founded on compatible observations, restorative surgery without drugs.

I had this. Ended up with getting circumcised at 10 years old. I couldn't piss at all because of it and I had a major phobia of pissing when I was a kid because I couldn't piss properly.

Can’t the issue sometimes be fixed with a dorsal slit or an incision into the frenulum as an alternative to circumcision? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello, If you accidentally ejaculate while doing the phimosis stretching exercises while pulling the skin back will it be considered masturbation?Also, how do you prevent it from happening, especially if you have premature ejaculation or the tightness makes the region extra sensitive when pressure is applied? It can be very tight and uncomfortable there and it is quite difficult to touch/pull the skin. A quick answer would be much appreciated.

If the phimosis is caused by bad hygiene, how do you clean if you can not retract ?

I heard WD40 works well….

Hi doctor, I have a question. When I was a teen, I experienced paraphimosis, I couldn’t pull back the foreskin over the head, as it’s getting swollen. I was too embarrassed to call my mother to go the hospital so I forced it and a bleed. I kept it closed for a couple of minutes until it stopped. I think since the it has been tight, but not uncomfortable. Can it be helpful just use OC cortizoid (1% active ingredient) and stretch foreskin? It has help. How far should it stretch? Thank doctor (and guys)

Where can I come to see you doctor. Where is your clinic located ?

How can a Dr be that good looking?

DO FORESKIN PHEROMONES REALLY ATTRACT WOMEN ?????
