Any other members with Phimosis had any luck with stretching their foreskin.
How tight was it to start with and how much has the situation improved since you started trying to stretch it?

I know two people who have stretched and had total success in getting normal foreskin function.
There are various helpful websites, but this one is by far the best. Peter Ball who is closely involved in the prevention of unnecessary circumcision has been in contact with me in the past (I do not have phimosis ) and is a respected expert in this field. I suggest starting at this page and exploring the whole site for both encouragement, information, and support. There is a Contact page if you need specific advice.

I used to have a phimosis, I read in your previous posts that you're able to remove the skin when it's soft, don't desespair, I wasn't able to do it, even a mm.  I explain you How i succed.

I never tried to remove my foreskin before I seen one pulled back on a movie at a friend house a saturday night. I was 19 and never heard about the fact that men can do it!
Back home, I tried to do it too because it seemed so easy on the movie, and never seen mine like that, but I wasn't able to  move it a milimeter.
On the sunday morning, while washing i tried another time but not possible at all even soft!
On the monday I went to see my doctor. His diagnostic was "tight phimosis"! He gave me a cream and told me that if it doesn't  works, circumsition is the best solution and explain me what it is.
The cream didn't work too and to avoid circumsition I tried to stretch the foreskin. At the begginig I tried to get the hole getting bigger by pulling on the skin on each side! And it worked, slowly, but it worked and one day I've been able  to remove it when soft.
After this step, I tried to get the hole bigger and bigger by pulling the skin slowly to the maximum plus a little more and kept it like this the more I was able.
Weeks after weeks, months after months, I stretched it that way, and one day, I reached the aim!!! All my glans was outside! getting the bigger I ever seen!!!
If I heard about the marble tip I think I would have tried it, because i think that it is less painfull thant pulling the skin until it blocks.
I see on picture that marbles seems to work, one day you'll be able to remove it.
Don't try to go to fast, stretching the skin takes many times and remember that it can avoid you the circumcision!

Thanks for sharing that, it gives me hope that i can avoid being circumcised.
Will keep up the stretching.

Went to see my Doctor yesterday.
She has referred me to see a urologist.
Will let you know what happens when i get the appointment.

Got an appointment at the Urology department in a few weeks, will let you know what they think needs to be done.

Appointment is on Tuesday, so only a couple of days now.
Not sure what to expect to happen, but i assume the Urologist will inspect my foreskin and suggest the best course of action.
I hope they can do something to help without resorting to circumcision.

Been for the appointment and they say that because my skin is so tight the only option is to be circumcised.
Shame because I was hoping to avoid it but they went through all the alternatives and we decided that they were not suitable in my case.
So into day surgery in a few weeks time to have the snip.

Hi homesparky, do keep us all up to date on the outcome of your 'op' - were/are you able to have any 'say' in the procedure? Like 'leave a little skin?
Do say how it is going for you.
Lee

[homesparky]

Hoping to get some say in how much they cut, would like as little as possible removed.
Op is in a few weeks.
Will let you all know the outcome.

My foreskin has been tight for as long as i can remember.
I don't think i have ever been able to retract it normally.
I can just about manage to pull it back when i am soft, but when hard it is impossible to pull it back at all.
Have tried using a steroid cream to soften it and help it to stretch but with no success.
Any ideas on anything else i can try.
I do not want to have it cut.

Just go here and you will find many ways to relieve tight foreskin other than circumcision.

It sounds as though you would be an excellent candidate for preputioplasty, especially since you do not want a circumcision.

It's too late now, poor guy.

With today's knowledge of the incredible value of the intact penis; of the rich supply of nerves within Taylor's ridged bands, located just within the opening of the foreskin, anything, even phimosis, is preferable to amputation.   And there's no such thing as a "partial" circumcision.   Remove any bit of the penis and it's just another case of genital mutilation.    Foreskin restoration is great, but it will never bring back Taylor's ridged bands.

Smegmafan ... go here:  http://www.network54.com/Forum/244184

They'll teach you how to stretch your foreskin opening to permit normal retraction.     The inner foreskin is highly sensitive to touch, but nerves in the glans largely register pain, only.    The glans is meant to be touched only by sopping wet vaginal tissue, so anything else touching it, even a breeze, will register pain.   Lubricate your fingers if you have to touch your glans ...
