For the past year I've had chronic Balanopostitis in the form of red slightly swollen symmetrical ring on the inside of my foreskin beneath the glans. I initially went to the STI clinic and they treated me with utter contempt. I then went to my GP who thinks it's because of prediabetes. I have an iron man level of fitness and (that aside) I have been fasting 5 days a week and have cut out all non-natural sugars. I have followed all the recommended advice and it still remains red / comes and goes / looks worse depending on engorgement. My concern is that I will get scar tissue as it's starting to look that way across the main fold. I'm 39 I want to have kids soon, but this is really affecting my sex life. I really don't want to have to get circumcised, any advice is most appreciated thanks,
Too much fasting is not so healthy..you need to have a balanced diet. Please realize that men in very poor countries, they don’t make diets… usually they are uncircumcised, and I can bet they don’t have to worry about a trivial thing as a foreskin, it is a natural thing in men. Hoping you get better
hey buddy. we are similar age. what you described is similar to what i experienced. mine was swollen. i was hoping to pull it back when the swollen stops. mine did look a bit like balanitis. eventually i think it healed it self within days. it was eventually back to normal. HOWEVER. thats when i found out i could never again pull my foreskin back. I dont want to be circumcised neither unless its the last resort. atm i have been using alternate ways to clean that area. i get a big bucket of warm water to pour down the hole during bath. as im pouring, the whole foreskin stretches. i manage to clean all that smegma out from the inside. About having kids. if you are able to give out. im quite sure there are alternate ways to get someone pregnant. i had to live with phimosis now. either circumcised or not. its going to be different down there. i chose to live with phimosis instead. Hopefully one day within time with different stretching technique it will be back to normal one day. Not much of an advice. just a bitter sweet comment, that you're not alone.
Sorry to hear the STI clinic didn't take your concerns seriously, I'd expect more from my colleagues. Don't go overboard on the fasting, most of the benefits are over done and exaggerated. Sounds like you are eating healthy. Creases in the glands can also be normal. Soreness is not. Retract the foreskin and air the head is usually the easiest thing you can do. Don't use soap only an emollient. I hope this is useful.
Sir please tell how to do the stretching i.e. how many times in one session and for how much seconds one hold should be and how to correctly access the phimotic band . 🙏🙏🙏
Like stretch the narrow end of a balloon, gently stretch, should NOT be painful in anyway, and hold for 3 mins. The tightest area should be the phimosis band, which will take time, maybe months. If newly tight then see a doctor first.
temporary circumcision. does that just mean letting air in the foreskin for a breathe? i can try pump some air in, if it helps. i've been doing it a lot less than. but i may get back to it.
When I was born, my father would not permit a circumcision. My pediatrician instead retracted and clamped my foreskin. I'm not sure just when this was done. According to one thing I've read, the foreskin doesn't normally retract until you're about five years old. I don't know if that's true. My mother said I screamed. I have never had any problem with my penis. I'm not sure if that's because of what was done.
well i diagnosed with paraphimosis and my dr said you have to do circumcision to prevent this happening again but internet is full of things like i lost maximum pleasure and all i am too scared to umdergo circumcision now
Hi dr. I got balinitis around 12 months back. I got a STD chlamydia. Its now cured after medicines. But it has left me with balanitis which is not going away. I dont have diabetes. It goes and comes back. What could be the cause? Please help I m not interested in circumcision. I also noticied that when i dont wash it . My skin becomes strong and the infection week. Whereas dr. Say just the opposite
I wanted to ask my head and glans of my penis is very sensitive i have no foreskin issues on urination and when i shower i always retract my foreskin back to wash with warm water, should i sleep with my foreskin rolled back to get more air round it?
Nope, if the foreskin swells during the night, you won't know about it until very painful and then becomes paraphimosis, a medical emergency. Just retract during the day, it will ease with time, yes it does take a very long time.
NEED URGENT ADVICE ON MILD PHIMOSIS Hi I am 18 can retract 50 percent when flaccid but when try to go more behind it gets thick and starts to roll instead of sliding which results in tightness and redness of the skin . I never retracted full so I fear of having smegma and smegma stones present behind the corona of penis.. PLZ HELP I WILL BE VERY THANKFUL 🙏 🙏
Hi sounds like you'll need to stretch the foreskin, very mild stretching should be okay. I'd advise to watch my video of foreskin stretching, may be of use.
Sir please tell how to do the stretching i.e. how many times in one session and for how much seconds one hold should be and how to correctly access the phimotic band . 🙏🙏🙏
Ideally wipe up off of a vasnished wood floor straight away. Otherwise I'd use a damp cloth. But go ease Otherwise could end up getting a water mark. This is what may have happened already. Then it comes down to carpentry skills which I know very little.

@@CartooonTHAT the help of a comprehensive urologist surely will be beneficial to help you solve the situation

Don't pump air into the foreskin, you will only damage yourself.

Interesting story, yes you would of screamed as a baby as most foreskins don't retract.

Heya, have yountried stretching rings? How did a treatment younchose work? Or you got cut in the end?
Hi Dr, when fully erect my foreskin does not retract automatically at all. I have to pull it back myself, is this normal?
Hi dr.
I got balinitis around 12 months back. I got a STD chlamydia. Its now cured after medicines.
But it has left me with balanitis which is not going away.
I dont have diabetes.
It goes and comes back. What could be the cause?
Please help
I m not interested in circumcision.
I also noticied that when i dont wash it . My skin becomes strong and the infection week. Whereas dr. Say just the opposite
I'd advise to wash only with water, nothing else for you. Keep the foreskin retracted while awake, this should help.
@@DrBretPalmerhi
Thanks for your reply.
how can i keep forskin open for longer.
I wanted to ask my head and glans of my penis is very sensitive i have no foreskin issues on urination and when i shower i always retract my foreskin back to wash with warm water, should i sleep with my foreskin rolled back to get more air round it?

Doc I don't see any results yet it's been 2 days stretching . How much days or weeks it will take to see improvements?
Plz guide🙏🙏🙏
@pranjalsrivastava2052 if you had to stretch your earlobes to get plugs, it will take months. This is a long process, don't force it.
Sir please tell how to do the stretching i.e. how many times in one session and for how much seconds one hold should be and how to correctly access the phimotic band . 🙏🙏🙏
I would recommend getting a permanent one and living peacefully after that
Alot of people are happy to have a foreskin, only remove if there's a problem.
@@DrBretPalmer after watching your videos about SMEGMA and infections because of foreskin I would never ask anyone to keep foreskin.
@friendlyuserrr their fun!
@@DrBretPalmer is there really any fun in that?
@friendlyuserrr not if you have a problem, but most foreskin problems are quickly resolved.
how do i clean sperm stains from wood floor?
Ideally wipe up off of a vasnished wood floor straight away.
Otherwise I'd use a damp cloth.
But go ease Otherwise could end up getting a water mark. This is what may have happened already.

Hahahhahhahhahahaa, why would you do it if you don't know how to clean it?😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
