Title: Doctor recommended pulling back for balanitis
Post by: Bamaral21 on 2020-12-30 20:31:06
Hi there, I'm 33 and recently started pulling back per doctor's order for clearing up balanitis. Luckily my foreskin stays behind the glands. But I'm constantly walking around with a massive erection. I was wondering when will the erections subside while being pulled back? Will it get easier over time? I'm currently staying retracted while at home. Having a difficult time going out in public while being retracted.

You'll get more used to it soon enough — it takes different amount of time for everyone, but it doesn't take too long.

As Bamara said, it will take a while, for me I discovered the most annoying part is the inner foreskin being bunched up behind the glans and staying moist, so I had a few really bad night because I would feel it unrolling even if stayed in place. I would recommend you to use something to keep it rolled at night.

Yes agreed good that the Dr started you on that, it will take some time, because you are conscious of it

I wish my doctor had told me about this instead of recommending a circumcision. I almost had it done but thanks to the pandemic shutdown, it got canceled.

It took me about a week for the erection frequency to reduce.

I don't mind going out with an erection. The right choice of underwear or no underwear can minimise the visibility.
