Adhesion

---

Hi! Im 13 years old.My foreskin is attached about until 3/4 down the head of the penis.Is this normal for my age.If not ,what must i do to solve the problem.Please help me out as soon as possible.Thank you

Try rolling your penis between the palms of your hands especially when erect. Also you can pull the forskin away from your body. Do this regularly and it will eventually detach. Just don't force anything. You don't want to cause any tears.

So am i actually alright?

Yeah you're alright. Usually the forskin has detached by this age, but not always. Perhaps you just haven't messed around with your penis much. Movement, stretching, masturbation etc... helps detach the skin.

My adhesion eventually disappeared after several sessions of masturbation, so that might help.

Actually,a small amount of foreskin was already detached but i was just quite worried anyway.Thanks for helping.This is the best forum for help!I think that i want to become a doctor so that i can help children like me.You have truly given me inspiration!thanks!

Hi i just want to make a correction.The inner part of my foreskin is attached to the head about 3/4 down.I still can retract the foreskin until the adhesion.Im 13 years old and is this normal for my age?

"Normally" it has detached by this age, but not always. You are in the category of "not always".

Actually, my foreskin didn't fully detach than a little over a year ago when I was 13.

Hi! speed&sound could you please rephrase your answer as i didnt quite understand.

His forskin didn't fully separate until he was 13.

Doggos92, I'm curious. Are you able to retract your foreskin down to where it adheres to the glans, or is it possible only to see the adherent tissue inside of the opening. Whatever you do, don't shove sharp objects inside your foreskin.One method of determining exactly where the adherent tissue is located, and where separation has occurred is by the "balloon" test. Sometime when you need to urinate, undress and get into a shower or tub. Pinch your foreskin shut with your fingers and allow urine to balloon inside the foreskin. Whereever the foreskin doesn't balloon is where the tissue is still adherent, and where you might wish to gently coax separation. Remember that this should occur normally, without much help from you, save through normal bouts of masturbation, etc. Oh, yes, the reason for being in the shower: when you finally "let go", there will be a urine spray.The one possible, remote, danger is that someone may have forced your foreskin from the glans when you were an infant, causing the tissues within your foreskin to "grow" together,fusing the foreskin to the glans. Though this is highly unlikely, time and the balloon test should demonstrate where difficulties lie. If complete retraction hasn't occurred by age 16, you should consult a physician.Korydon

Until I was almost 12, I had an adhesion, I was also rather tight (but could still retract to clean, etc)The doctor knew that I would eventually be circumcised, so he never really tried to fix it or do anything about it. However tons of masturbation solved the problem of the adhesion and tight foreskin both.

Hi, i'm uncut and ever since when i was 11 i could retract the foreskin to the back of the head at first it was real tight but after few weeks of stretchign it in teh shower it was all done. :)

If you don't mind my asking, icute, how did you figure out that the foreskin could be retracted? Did the possibility seem to be obvious? were you informed, by friends, parents, or a doctor? Or, did you read about the dynamic nature of the foreskin in a book, magazine, or on the internet.

I ask, because so many young men become adults without really being aware of penile anatomy and function and end up not being able to retract without going through a series of exercises. An understanding of your experience will help shed light on the controversy.

Well my parents took to the doc when i was... 5 i think and teh doc told me about it and the reason behide it but being a little kid i didn't bother and he retract it and at teh time it hurt like hell. So i could retract the foreskin when i was 5-6 then my parents and i forgotten about it. So it kinda joined up. Untill i was 11 i was playing with my penis and the foreskin and i had a strange though and began pulling the foreskin back.

Congratulations, icute, on putting two and two together. You were lucky, however, not to have had the foreskin grow permanently onto the glans after your doctor forcibly retracted it. It was wrong of him, and his action demonstrates the ignorance of most (I assume) American doctors where the concern is the foreskin. Part of their problem is understandable, as many, if not most American doctors, were circumcised at birth.If you ever have a male child, you must remember to speak with the child's doctor about respecting the boy's genital integrity before the child is similarly harmed. The child, only, should attempt to retract his foreskin, though he should, of course, be made aware of the eventuality and function of the foreskin and encouraged, or at least not discouraged, to exercise his option.Korydon

Hi KorydonI agree with your statements. It's amazes me that so many guys don't really check themselves out. I retracted as young as I could remember. Curiosity about what was inside the foreskin pee hole did that. My foreskin was not fully retractable. There were adhesions right at the rim area so I couldn't actually see my rim, that's another story. I lost the adhesions whan I was about 8. I guess the frequent retractions help that along. I would say these guys 12 or older definitely need to make more efforts to move things along.
