My foreskin is too tight

Long story short: It hurts like hell when I try pull my foreskin back over the head of the penis, when I’m erect. When I’m soft it doesn’t hurt at all. I think I have phimosis or whatever it’s called.

I’m considering contacting my GP, but not sure what they’d say. Will I have to get circumcised? Also, does it even matter than I won’t be able to retract my foreskin when it comes to sex? I’m 17 btw, if that changes anything.

See your GP.

Depending on the severity of the tightness they will advise if it needs full circumcision or if an operation to loosen the fore skin may work.

Don’t worry about it, I was circumcised a couple years back and most girls I’ve been with prefer it

Maybe see a doctor.

I think you need to be able to pull it back to use a condom.
