Hello there.
I'm 30 year old and I used to suffer from a phimosis which I cured manually through months of gentle stretching, maybe 8 years ago. Since then I discovered I had some quite severe adhesions to my glans, clearly a consequence of the phimosis.
I was hoping it would improve with time but it didn't. Do you think there is any hope of "detaching" those without manual stretching only?
I basically have no frenulum which is fused with the skin..
Hi Henry it probably won’t separate I’m afraid. you should have it checked with your doctor or urologist the glans is quite pale looking as well possible Lichen sclerosus so have it checked.
Thank you for your reply.
I guess it’s because of the flash because it’s quite pink otherwise, never had any issue with discoloration. I actually saw a doctor maybe a month ago because I thought I had an infection but it turned out nothing was wrong with my glans.
That’s what I thought, tugging on it won’t do any good. I’m afraid an urologist would try to make a full circumcision though which is something I don’t want. I’m not sure what is doable: maybe cutting the adherence, but how would it work? I’m not even sure I I have a frenululm to begin with
OK that can happen with the flash natural light is always better.
I think your only option is to speak with a urologist about surgery and see what your options are explain to him that you don’t want a circumcision. I’m not sure if the frenulum is there either how does the other side look is the foreskin normal on that side?
the meatus is it in the right place on the glans or do you have glandular Hypospadias?
I think the meatus is placed correctly
Yes the left side (on the picture) is normal or at least much more normal, you can see the point of attachment between the skin and the glans. If I tug down the glans is totally visible on this side
Not sure about the meatus it looks to be more on the side instead of the tip of the glans but not to worry it doesn’t affect anything.
I’m not sure if the adhesion can be released without surgical intervention. I think maybe you should have it looked at and properly assessed and then make your decision on what needs to be done after you get the advice.
I’ll definitely get it checked soon, hopefully a minor surgery will be enough
Yeah see what they say it shouldn’t be to big a job. Let me know how you get on!
