Tight Foreskin, Difficulty Retracting During Erection. Suggestion About Surgery?

I have A bit tight foreskin ... It can be retracted at normal position but not fully retracted at the time of erection ... Can see some part of the glans when give pressure to pull down the foreskin but not total( at the time of erection )... Every doctor has different views for surgery ... One said said it will go down at the time of intercourse .. You need to pull down and clean when not at erection, but dont trywhen erected. You please suggest about surgery or what to do if surgery is not needed. Thanks ...

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are having a condition called Phimosis, treatment depend on severity and if it is mild it is correct please keep it clean by retracting it when not erect.
It would be good idea to consult a Surgeon and discuss as it also depend whether you are sexually active or not.
Treatment option are stretching of fore skin manually or with balloons, even application of local steroid cream to prevent fibrosis and stretching is useful.
Circumcision is effective if other measure fail or Phimosis is pathological.
super incision or subterincisions Preputioplasty,simple surgical procedure may be done depending on what is good for you
Take care
Best of Luck..
