I am a 30, uncircumcised male and raised in a very conservative household where stuff like this wasn't talked about much. I recently discovered through online reading that the foreskin is supposed to eventually detach from the glans at around ages 10-15 but mine hasn't. I've masturbated all my life and I regularly clean under the foreskin in the shower. My erect penis does not retract. When flaccid, I can retract my foreskin to about a cm below the full glans so the head is revealed but I noticed that a part of it is attached to the glans. I did some research on it and discovered that this is unnatural. So, I came here for your suggestions on how I can go about getting the foreskin to detach naturally. Or do I have to get it operated? Thank.

Dear Lybrate user. Phimosis is a congenital narrowing of the opening of the foreskin so that it cannot be retracted. Phimosis is a very common problem. In most of the cases you can clear the problem yourself. Phimosis could cause moderate to severe pain while having vaginal intercourse. Apply oil on your foreskin and on the glans. Move the foreskin forward and back slowly without hurting you much. Because the oil is lubricant, it will be easier than without oil. Do this forward and back movement 20 times several times in a day. Repeat the same every day for around one month. You will get the elasticity and you will be able to retract the foreskin completely. In case if there is no result from the above massage, you can always go for a minor surgical procedure called circumcision. Take care.
