How is phimosis diagnosed?
A physician usually diagnoses phimosis when there are persistent problems urinating, when there are recurrent infections under the foreskin, or when the opening to the penis is completely blocked by the foreskin.
How can you tell if you have phimosis or am starting puberty late?
Phimosis (a tight foreskin) and late puberty are two different problems that have little to do with eachother. If you are 15 years old and do not have pubic hair or have not experienced any of the other changes of puberty such as underarm hair, penile growth, or voice change you should see your pediatrician or family doctor. While it is usually perfectly normal for some boys to go through puberty later than others, occasionally delayed puberty is due to an existing medical problem. If you can not pull your foreskin back to expose the head of the penis, then that would be called phimosis. Phimosis is easily treated by using a series of exercises to gradually stretch the opening of the foreskin along with a topical corticosteroid cream. This works in about 9 out of 10 cases of phimosis, meaning that you'll be able to keep your foreskin and avoid a painful circumcision. For more information on stretching, search wikianswers for: "How do you cure phimosis?"
You have been reading up on stretching your foreskinand want to know whether it should be done while penis is erect or soft your foreskin is easily pulled back when soft?
There are a lot of scams selling products for "stretching" the foreskin. There is no scientific evidence that stretching is possible. If it were, problems like phymosis (or phimosis) (narrowing of the foreskin that prevents full retraction) would never happen.
What could happen if a boy's penile foreskin is forced back too early?
The foreskin of an uncircumsized newborn should NEVER be pulled back; it is a myth and it is dangerous to do this. It should never be forced back by a parent, no matter what the reason the parent has. Keep your hands off of it. Tissues of the glans penis and of the covering foreskin are not yet differentiated, and the foreskin should be left alone. Some physicians consider that an unretracted foreskin can be normal and non-problematic even as late as puberty. Yes, there can be problems with the foreskin, but pathological phimosis (a medically problematic unretractable foreskin) is virtually NEVER a competent diagnosis at birth.AnswerThe foreskin does not retract at birth. Forcing it back at this age can cause tearing and scarring meaning it will be difficult to retract in the future.
Are there foreskin problems that DON'T require circumcision?
In fact the incidence of problems with the foreskin (Prepuce) where circumcision is required is extremely rare.
What is the medical term meaning surgical removal of the foreskin on the penis?
phimosis: narrowing of the opening of the foreskin (prepuce) over the glans penisThis can be overcome with simple foreskin stretching exercises.PhimosisphimosisIf the foreskin becomes narrowed to the point where it cannot be comfortably retracted, it is a condition called phimosis. There are several different techniques that could be used to alleviate this, including stretching, steroid cream, or circumcision.But if you are having trouble retracting your foreskin, you should have it evaluated by a trained physician, because the treatment depends on the particular person. For instance if you stretch it inappropriately, you can cause scar tissue formation, which would force you to get a circumcision.PhimosisThe incorect diagnosis of "Phimosis" in young boys is not unusual, aspecialy in the US where there is a culture that encourages Circumsicisionmost foreskin problems can be treated without circumcision as is apperent from the European experience where less the 3% on average are circumcised and many of those for cultural and religious reasons.The #1 rule for intact care is to leave it alone.The first person to retract a boy's foreskin should be the boy himself.Until then, just wipe it off like you would a your hands finger or rinseit in plain water in the bath.Once a boy can retract the foreskin himself, all he needs to do is "RETRACT it and RINSE it", in the shower or bath.phimosis

Is puberty embarrassing?
I do not think you have anything to worry about. If you were asking these questions at age of 18 or 20 years, then I could understand your concerns. Just give yourself a few years and you should be ok. As for the foreskin not retracting, you know, it is so silly to think that you have to do things to hurt yourself or to be like somebody else. Just because someone says you have to retract your foreskin why do you think you have to do it? The reasoning is not correct that if a foreskin isn't retractable it can cause problems with cleaning and sex, and if it doesn't retract it's not functioning properly. There actually are millions of men in the world at any one time, myself included, who do not retract their foreskin. I have a number of current patients in a similar condition and have, in the past, treated men in Europe, Asia and other countries with the condition of tight foreskin. Not one that I have personally met and not one that I have ever read about has a problem with cleaning. Nor do they have problems with masturbation or sex. And I have to join with them in saying that it is ridiculous to suggest that our penises are not functioning properly. Your penis and your foreskin are a unique team. They work together almost always in perfect harmony. Some guys have a foreskin that retracts, so they retract it. Some guys have a foreskin that does not retract, so they leave it alone. Some guys have had their foreskin removed and no longer have a choice. If you are watching videos, then the guys are probably porn stars and they do so much drugs and other stuff that their sexuality is no longer normal in any case. I would not worry about them. If your foreskin does not easily retract, do not try to force it to. It does not have to. You do not have to pull the foreskin back to put a condom on, to masturbate, or to have sex. It is an absolute nonsense to think so. Only fools will tell you this is necessary. Some people label a tight foreskin as phimosis. Generally people with a tight foreskin do not have phimosis, they just have a tight foreskin. There are millions of guys in the world with this condition which is quite normal. The only abnormal thing is when you try to stretch a foreskin that does not need to be stretched or try to use medications that rarely have any beneficial result. The unfortunate thing is that retraction has been taught, mainly in USA, because personal hygiene was not taught. Washing a penis with the foreskin covered (not retracted) is very easily achieved and very efficient. Any boy or man can be shown how to do it if they are having a problem. The same goes for masturbation or sex. Many will argue that it is much more effective and it certainly feels great. I cant compare it to an open foreskin, because I have never done it that way. Just leave your foreskin as it was intended to be. Anything you do to yourself that hurts is normally not a good thing to do, so don't do it.

What is the ultimate treatment for the enlargement of the foreskin which hides the head of the penis?
There is nothing medically wrong with foreskin. If you care to have it removed or it is causing you problems you should contact your Primary care physician who then can refer you to a Urologist. At that time you and your doctor may decide that circumcision is an option for you.
