I went to my GP and she expressed some concerns regarding my safety.
She said the she has no problem with permanent retraction, but she is really uncomfortable with my foreskin and said that is shlould get circumcised. At least i should get removed the tight part. Circumcision is really rare in my country.
She also said, that i should change to taping, because with the spoon method (my preferred choice) i have an extremely high risk of getting phimosis. (I am keeping it back permanently for a month without any sweeling issues).
Is she right? Should i be concerned?
This is my foreskin: https://xhamster.com/videos/is-my-foreskin-and-frenulum-ok-xhLi8SI
On the picture i have just pulled back my foreskin and let it go forward as it wants.
She's wrong about all those things. :o
It's just not something most doctors know about. You are not at risk for developing (Para)phimosis; if you were, it would have happened already.
Why is she uncomfortable with your foreskin?
Because I had phimosis. I have been stretching it for 5 years.
The video is slightly misleading. There was some cream on my foreskin providing lubrication. It is usually harder to free the foreskin from the coronal ridge.
Yeah, I don't think anything's wrong especially now that it isn't tight anymore, and you say you don't have any swelling issues.
I would disagree with your doctor. I see no reason for you to be circumcised, especially as you have experienced no swelling after being retracted for a month.

I have to agree with you guys even the video looks ok
What about the taping part? (She was helpful, she explained it how should I do that)
I think that is impossible for me (grower, from 5 cm to 17 cm)
It looks like as you have slightly tight foreskin you should have no trouble with it staying retracted as the foreskin will just grip behind the corona.
Does it move freely during sex or masturbation?
Looks much the same as my cock which works perfectly. Could be the doctor does not like foreskins and thinks they should be chopped off.

Not really, it folds itself under the coronal ridge. I have to persuade it to 'jump up' to the glans.

I don't know. If she wanted to get it chopped off, why would she mention taping?
She seems a bit indecisive. Firstly, she suggests circumcision (heaven forbid) and secondly, using tape.

Does it bother you?
As long as it doesn't get stuck it should not be dangerous, however, it might add greater enjoyment if it can move freely.
That's up to you to soul search and think about.
Have you discussed with your doctor stretching the skin with prescription cream?
From what I understand many doctors are hesitant about partial circumcised due to scaring and maybe have to revisit the procedures.
So, most commonly there are two options, frenulum removal or full circumcision.
Earlier I had phimosis and I was using cream to stretch. (She prescribed and monitored my progress)
However that tighter (which is getting caught at the ridge) ring simply doesn't want to stretch.

I agree actually, it looks pretty much the same as mine as well. Although I have always wanted it to be a bit looser and have had some success with stretching. But it does not cause me any issues. Perhaps another doctor could give you a different opinion if you are concerned?
Keep us posted with what happens.
It looks good to me. I have a similar situation. If the glans is well lubed and I slowly retract the foreskin it tuck behind the head like yours, similar to a soon method result. My foreskin has tightened slightly for some reason since I've started doing it which can be uncomfortable some times but it helps in keeping the skin back. I also used to be able to pull the skin down the shaft a bit like you can, but I'm unable to do that now so easily. Not sire if that is because of tight Ridge band or frenulum.
Perfectly safe. Continue as normal. Get cut or not, as you prefer. If it was unsafe it would be very uncomfortable.
Plot Twist : GP is OP's girlfriend. Lol. Joke aside I think your foreskin and frenulum is fine. Is there's no present pain when you retract it, then I don't see what she is worried about. Maybe she's trying to impose her personal preference upon you.
