Is It Cancerous To Have A Tight Foreskin On Penis?
What is the solution for painful and tight foreskin on penis?
I am 26. I have a unique problem. I have a very tight foreskin which is hurting me over the glans and the ring like semi-circle part of the penis where the foreskin rests. This problem is from way back from 2006. I pull my foreskin back every day during bath (pull; is at times difficult if I don’t do it every day). I am experiencing pain over my glans and the ring thing (I don’t know what it is called). I have consulted urologist couple of times and he said there is no pathological diagnosis to this. I have visited dermatologist who suggested me a steroid cream (Candid) over the foreskin. After masturbation recently, I started developing pain over my glans more. Even my boxer hurts. I am very depressed, I feel I have damaged something internally and it will lead to cancer. I don’t want to die because of this. Please help me

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have phymosis,due to the fibrosis of the muscles of the fore skin.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Explain him that it is allowing the glance when it is small, and struck when it is erected.
You may need to have a circumcision,for relief. It means the cutting of the fore skin,up to the glance.
Weishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
My further question:
Is this cancer? I am very scared for this issue and very depressed from past few days. I had this problem of pain even while wearing a boxer but it itself got cured in couple of weeks.
Is this serious? I don’t know but I am too sensitive. Urologist doctor gave me 2 tablets, 1 of vitamin E and one capsule Pregabalin Capsules IP. Please assist me.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have problem in retracting your foreskin over glans penis what is called as Phimosis.
The only treatment option for Phimosis is to undergo surgery of Circumcision.
This is a simple procedure done under local anaesthesia as a out patient procedure and offers permanent cure.
The pain that you get at glans penis may be due to infection of the glans (Ballanitis) .
There is no possibility of having cancer of the penis and need not to be worried.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon and get it done at earliest.
