Foreskin stuck... PLEASE HELP!

OK, this thread is gonna be pretty crude but it's kinda urgent.

I've sorta self-diagnosed myself with phimosis in the last few weeks, and so I've been trying to stretch my foreskin. Today I stretched it loads, and I got the whole head out (which I've never done before). Problem is, now it's STUCK. I can't seem to fold the foreskin back over it all. What do I do!?

Should I just leave it like this (I mean is this normal?) Or should I call myself an ambulance or something!?!?!

HELP!!!!!!!

This may be stupid idea, since I have never had this problem, but why not try lubing the head and foreskin with vaseline or something and then trying?

You need to get your foreskin back to its original postion. how i it stuck? has the head of ur penis swelled meaning you can't push it back over?

If you cannot put it back you need to see a Dr as soon as possible...it is not life threatening though so dont call an ambulance!

I know someone with Phimosis, and it's not urgent but you DON'T want to cause any permanent damage - so don't mess with it - go to a doctor. You may ass well get the condition sorted out completely while you're there.

Its probably stuck just because of the shape of the head- Narrow at the tip, gets wider along the head and then narrower again where the head meets the shaft.
Try pushing it back over the head, use a lube if you need to, but if you start feeling pain its probably best to see a doctor. They may be able to numb the area and do it...
Good luck!

Try 'Aqueous cream' or something like that.
On a 'normal' foreskin one would pull it back further so that it 'folds back' away from the penis glans then 'roll' it back over them.

Yeah, go and see the doc but don't panic! S/he might suggest circumcision and again, don't panic at the idea. I had the chop done at 16 and although it was very uncomfortable for about 3 weeks, I'm so much happier without foreskin now. It makes a lot of sense :smile:

Don't worry or anything but at the end of all this you will most probably be a woman.


btw, see a doc.

Try cold water? Its should make it shrink and then the foreskin will probably just fold back over.

Hope this helps/works.

You're an idiot.

try squeezing it just before where the head where it is stuck. i.e. try and make the head smaller as you are pushing the skin back up.


btw sounds like a wierd problem, i think i remember having trouble pulling my foreskin all the way back when i was like 10 or something.

Thank you for your replies! I've given in and called a doctor, gonna go have to go in at 6 and wait until a DR is able to see me.

It's not particularly incomfortable, it just doesn't seem.. right to me.

And on top of all things my mum just walked through the door and I had to tell her about it. Fun.

It really is not sorted.. I think it's getting more stuck. If I have to have surgery today then I may just die.
