A member asked:

Tight foreskin, should i go to the doctors or just pull?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phimosis: If it won't relax, see your doctor. You don't want to restrict blood flow which can be catastrophic.

My foreskin is fairly tight when my penis is erect, the tip and part of the head can exit out of the foreskin however I am unable to get it past the head fully. Is this natural or do I need to see a doctor? I can retract it fully when flaccid?

Foreskin tore during sex and when it healed it was to tight to pull back. It tore again when I did get it to retracted past my penile head. Do I need to see a doctor for it to heal proper without the tightness or will it repair itself back with time?
