Please notice in the following study, how boys with tight foreskins were able to resolve their issues in 96 percent of cases. It is highly likely this method could work for your child.

I would like to thank you for not continuing the practice of circumcision onto your child.

----------------------------------------

Phimosis has been defined as unretractable foreskin without adherences
or a circular band of tight prepuce preventing full retraction. We
suggested a new treatment protocol combining betamethasone with
stretching exercises to reduce the number of patients requiring surgery
for phimosis. Between January 2003 and September 2004, 247 boys aged 4
to 14 years (mean 7.6) were included in this consecutive, prospective,
open study. Patients were treated with 0.05% betamethasone cream
applied to the distal aspect of the prepuce twice daily for the first
15 days, then once daily for 15 more days. Preputial gymnastics started
1 week after topical application of betamethasone. Ninety-six percent
of patients receiving 1 or more cycles of betamethasone showed complete
resolution of phimosis. There was a significant difference (P <
.001) in response rate between the study and control groups. Only 10
boys in the study group had no response to steroid and stretching.
Treatment with topical steroids, combined with stretching exercises, is
a suitable alternative to surgical correction (preputial
plasty/circumcision).

Before you resort to doctors and surgery etc, try to get your son to explore his difficulty by gently stimulating himself to a firm erection an dthen gently teasong back his foreskin as far as it will go without pain. Some gentle lubricant such as baby oil will help a lot. If he is able to retract his foreskin when flacid then there is porobably not too much wrong, just some tightness.

I had this same problem as a boy and used to masturbate with the hood pulled back as far as I could get it which was about half way down the glans. Eventually after a few weeks of daily sessions my foreskin stretched enough so that it suddenly eased back off of the glans. I have never had any further trouble in this area.

So, just encourage your son to give this a try before you make a big issue of it and force him to explain everything to doctors. It might save a whole lot of unpleasantness for everybody. If it has not made things better after some weeks THEN you can take things further but at the moment allow him to make his own progress and remember, this is NOT life threatening provided he is able to keep himself clean when soft so keep things light for his sake.

hi, my boy is natural. no problems,

i was cut but learned how to restore my forskin by stretching it.

my point is that the tissue is very very maleable.

gentle stretching in any direction will in all cases i am aware of allow for any need.

you may have to teach him to stretch the opening when not errect with his fingers. gently, never to pain.

age 46- forskin self restored, love large labia. see www.sexylabia.com

Best of luck to you and your son, I hope his condition isn't to severe and you find the right doctor for the job.

Thanks to you both for replying. I guess this is a situation where as the parent i have to put my foot down. Particularly when it comes to my kids  bodies i really try and let them make their own decisions, but it does sound like we should move quickly on this one.

The challenge now will be to find a doctor who is supportive of the fact that we don't want to circumsise unless its truly neccesary.

It was not a problem with mine. I was always able to roll mine back to keep it clean. In adulthood, I started wearing my foreskin back most of the time. Giving it the best of both worlds, more of the look of being cut when back but still enjoying the feeling of it during masturbation or sex.

It would be best of course to get a medical opinion of your son's discomfort. At his age, boys get erections a lot. Just having an erection and having it restricted by clothing can cause discomfort. He may not be able to articulate what all he is dealing with.

I would strongly advise you to go and see a doctor to determine whether or not he might need some medical intervention. I have that exact same problem with the non-reveding foreskin (i assume that's what he means by too tight) and (at least for me) masturbation hasn't helped. I am due to see a doctor soon to find out how I can fix it and I suggest you take your son too so it gets fixed early on in his life. It is possible that it will fix itself over time or that the doctor will perscribe some ointment but in severe cases I am told that it might require some sort of surgical intervention (not necisarrily circumsision). Don't take my world on this however, I am no expert and am just speaking from personal experience. Do some reaserch on the subject. The condition of the tight foreskin is called phimosis.
