I’m 20 years old with phimosis. Never had sex before. I can pull back my foreskin when flaccid, but when erect I can only pull it back enough to see the tip of the head before it starts to hurt and I can’t pull it back anymore. It seems the thing that hurts when I try to retract when erect is a red fleshy string that is attached to my foreskin and the head of my penis (my frenulum?). It feels tight when I try to pull my erect foreskin back. I fear it may be attached too high..
I’ve included photos of what I’m talking about when retracting flaccid.
I was never really taught about retracting my foreskin growing up, so I appreciate any help from urologists or others. Thank you.
Do I have frenulum breve? Is my frenulum attached too high? Will I have to get surgery? Pics below.
