Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 14 (almost 15) and I'm almost sure I have phimosis. I can't retract the skin at all while having an erection and I can see only a part of my head (it's kind of purple). It hurts when I try to touch it and leavens an unpleasant feeling. Another problem is that my penis is small - 10 cm (I'm not worried about it I've read that there are still 3-4 years for it to grow ) and because of that I'm feeling too ashamed to tell my parents or consult a doctor. Is there a posibility for me to wait a couple of more years (hopefully my penis will grow during that time) and if it does tell my parents and consult a doctor or should I try something at home like stretching etc. (I can retract the skin while taking a shower but when I try to wash the head it is quite painfull for a couple of seconds and leaves an unpleasent feeling for another 1-2 minutes). (Sorry for this being so long).
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your first question is about phimosis, yes this condition is called phimosis and I would advise you to definitely tell your parents because if it remains untreated it might leads to serious consequences, the idea treatment in your case would be to get Circumcision done which is the surgical removal of your foreskin. Your second question is about the size of your penis , you should not worry about it at the moment as you are just 14 years old penis keeps on enlarging till the age of 18 years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
