I'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft. It moves a little but stops when the opening gets to about a centimeter. Trying to move it further hurts a lot, so stretching it seems impossible. I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.

I had a BPH surgery in 2006 that went wrong and left me with uncontrollable incontinence after my sphincter was accidentally cut. In 2007, an Indian-American surgeon performed a sling surgery in Hyderabad, which helped for a while. But now the problem is back even small movements cause urine leakage. Should I consider another sling surgery or are there other options?
it's common that sling operation can give relief to few years,,, and there is always a chance of recurrence after sling surgery, either due to failure of sling operation or bladder over activity, there are other options available to control urinary incontinence or sling operation can be repeated but second time it's little complicated procedure. Consult a urologist for further help.
