Hello I'm 18 years old and I got the diagnosis phimosis one year ago. I've also been given cortisone to solve the problem. The doctor didn't tell me how to stretch nor the time i should spend on it. (I was childish and thought that the cortisone itself would help me out since the doctors told me the salve would help, however they never told me that the stretching was that important that I've now been aware of. Of course the treatment of 2 months didn't help and the medical health care hasn't responded yet after several months since my last visit, (at that time I was told I needed another examination and I'm still waiting). I find phimosis quite embarrassing and I have been rather down since I've had this problem for long and knew that something wasn't right since years ago. My dick goes baloonie abit when I take a piss but it was worse before I had this treatment (though my penis isn't that sensitive of touch that it's used be after those months)

This has also affected my sexlife since when I was going to have sex with a girl for the first time I couldn't tell if I was in her or not.. Only thought so when I started to have a great tension which I felt would lead into pain. (I wasn't even pumping her)..

I have some questions about this problem:

1. If the doctors order me another treatment with cortisone should I take it?

2. I've read a manual linked by yahoo answers about how to stretch the foreskin and it seems to be quite alright, I just wonder how come your hole becomes bigger with more foreskin? To me it looks like I've got alot of it since you cannot see the corona (or what to call it).

3. How long will it normally take if I do these regular exercises everyday for approximately half and hour total each day. (My hole has a radius of 2mm something..)

4. By your experiences if you've got, will the foreskin's tension be less enough for a pleasant sexual act if you wear a condom? (I'm curious since I've got some invitations for a threesome and I can't even do it with one, without a condom though)

I apologize for any inconvenience I may have brought to you and I would appreciate if you could email me your answer if you decide not to post my message, I really need your help. Thank you!

Faithfully Yours,

Johnny

Man, that's quite a story. Right now, your assignment is to read several previous treads. In them, you'll learn more about stretching. The right prescriptive drug will help, but by far, the most important ingredient is your personal effort.

Forget about another appointment for now, and forget about yahoo answers. Concentrate on doing what we outline here, and you'll get some progress. I don't know how long it's going to take you. Set aside at least two sessions of fifteen minutes each, one in the morning; the other at night.

No advice on sex for now. Let's get that thing working right first.
