What Causes Difficulty In Stretching Foreskin When Erect?
Question: Hi,
I am 27 year old and been facing issue with stretching the foreskin when erect. The foreskin does pull back easily while flaccid and during erection it can be pulled back but the attachment to the penis head is quiet tight and causing discomfort. Do i have to undergo any surgery to rectify this ? ? If then, should i go and meet a urologist or surgeon ? ?

Is there no other option than Circumcision ? ? If i perform this surgery, how long would it take for a complete recovery ? ? Would it cause any infection ? ?Also, can Preputioplasty be an alternate option ? ? How is it different from Circumcision ? ?
Brief Answer:
Preputioplasty is an alternative!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
preputioplasty is an alternative to circumcision.. It is minimally invasive but more expensive and can recur. The beauty with circumcision is that there is no future risk of recurrence. The risk of infection is very minimal and never a reason to worry about. However, circumcision is more traditional and less expensive than preputioplasty.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Ready to address any further concerns that you may have.
