Could really do with some advice, or help ... - Men's Health Message Board

I posted a message on the Mens Anatomy board aweek or so ago, but have still had no response. I have been having penis problems for around a year now. I picked up an infection which was cleared up with cream under the foreskin, but ever since then I have suffered from feeling like my penis head is sensitive, (not to touch, I'm just always aware of it), and I seem to suffer from a a quick leaking feeling, like a nerve end firing when I think about sex, or just about my problems (happens just inside the actual head it feels). I had problems in the first place because I was not told to clean under the foreskin, and then after because when I cleaned under the forskin, no one told me you had to dry it before you put the foresking back. I think because of that I always seemed to be picking up small infections and had an irritated head. I now make sure the head is mainly dry before putting the foreskin over again. The urologist I saw said that the head looked ok, and I wouldn't need a circumsion. He said the strange effect when I think about sex was probably just a normal reaction, but I never had that before the problem started. This has all come at a bad time, as I'm probably quite a late developer, and I don't know what is normal and what is not!

My questions are: Does anyone get strange feelings when they think about sex?

How dry should the head be after you wash? Tacky, or completely smooth and non sticky? If so, how do you get it so dry?

Is it normal for the head to become tacky under the foreskin, just naturally after the foreskin has been replaced?

Do you become really aware of the penis head during this period, in a guys life, or is this part of the problem?

I am so frustrated and worried about this. I feel like I might have this for the rest of my life, and I don't really want it a day longer. Its really getting me down, and I have begun to worry about it alot, which i shouldn't do I know.

ANY advice would be really welcome. I'm so disappointed that this hasn't been sorted out yet and I feel like I shouldn't be going through this. I'm willing to try anything now to get it sorted.

Sorry for the speil,
Thanks.

If you're not satisfied with your doc's response( and I wouldn't be ), I'd keep pestering him till I got some kind of relief. If that doesn't work, tell him you want to be reffered to a urologist! I don't like doctors who are uncooperative and I wouldn't hesitate to look for a more sympathetic doctor. JMO. see ya.

Hey all

Thanks for replying to my questions. I could never work out why I was feeling so crap, yet the urolgist I have seen said nothing was particularly wrong. I realised a few days back, that although I was drying the glans of the penis properly, I was not particularly making the the actual foreskin completly dry (the bit that comes into contact when the skin is pulled into its normal position). The last few days I have been making this bit is as dry as I can get it, and it has helped alot. I feel more normal than I have done in the past year. The problems are still there but getting better. Is it just that the head needs a little time to recover after being traumatised for a year, and it will continue to get better?

Also, how do make sure that bit of the skin is properly dry, as it takes me ages (a few mins) to get it dry, where to dry other parts of my body is just a few seconds. How do u uncut guys get the skin dry? Using towel? or just leave the had exposed for a bit till it is dry or what?

Also the leaking feeling I had about sex or thinking about problems down there, was not something I had before I picked all this up a year ago. Could it be a symptom of the problem that will also go away? Or does anyone else have a similair reaction, and just considers it normal?

Cheers!

I dry then leave it exposed while I shave, brush teeth etc.. in the morning.

You don't really have to dry the head in general but it definitely does help if you have problems with irritations or infections.

Need a quick way to dry off??? Try a hair blower.
