Hi thank you for querry,
As you mentioned you are feeling difficulty in tetracting foreskin back.
phimosis and paraphimosis.
phimosis in which difficulty of foreskin to retract back.
after some time when skin forcefully retract back it stuck causing paraphimosis.
With time, impairment of venous and lymphatic flow to the glans leads to venous engorgement and worsening swelling. As the swelling progresses, arterial supply is compromised, leading to penile infarction/necrosis, gangrene, and eventually, autoamputation.
so its better to do a circumcission.
hope the information will help you to making decision.
