Foreskin and synechia from the glans.

I had my foreskin retracted by a girl to pull the synechia away from the glans.

It was not until I was about eleven or twelve when I snapped the last remaining bit of synechia away from the corona - with an audible snap!

Do anyone here recall this happening to themselves or seeing it on someone else, when they were younger, or observing the gradual separation of the synechia or inner foreskin?

Curious to know as I have heard of no one else. Surely I must not be the only one?

Hi belkinian, I cannot observe the natural separation of synechia of my penis during childhood. During puberty I was aware my penis was different with respect to that of my school mates, almost all had they penis yet unretractable. This was because my pediatrician proceded to the operation when I was 5 yo. It has been done without anhestesia, he teared glans synechiae with surgical instruments. I remember I was dreaded to be so exposed and the procedure was painful. I remember they kept me restrained to the examination table, the prepuce was forced until the glans popped out and it was shiny and red of blood. The doctor proceded with a deep retraction and the corona sulcus and glans were accurately cleaned. After the operation my genitals were accurately checked by the doctor first weeekly then monthly. Finally it was all ok...

I grew up thinking all guys could retract their foreskin, my mother always did that to wash under it from as early as I remember. She told me her doctor asked her if she wanted me circumcised and when she said no he told her she would have to retract it to clean under there at every bath. Later when I began having sex, my frenulum tore away so that it was no longer in the way and my foreskin can now go all the way back with no restriction so the shaft is fully covered by the inner foreskin. I've never had any attachments to the glans and don't know if the doctor did anything when I was a baby.

My mother took me to the doctor when I was 4 y/o due to a tight non-retractable foreskin. I don't know if her intent was to have my foreskin circumcised. What she told me was that the doctor used "tweezers" to open the tip before preceding to retract my foreskin. She said that my penis was bleeding. All that I can remember was that it hurt a lot. At the age of 12 my mother seen me peeing in the yard (we lived in the country). She questioned me as to why my foreskin was not retracted and commented that the doctor would have to "snip the tip" such that my "head" (her word for glans) would be exposed. Sounded painfully. She commented that it would be just the puce colored wrinkly folds of skin on the very tip of my penis that the doctor needed to cut off. Still sounded painful. "The pain will be brief but it needs to be done". I finally conceded. She made an appointment for a week later. At the clinic the doctor had me remove my pants and get on the exam table. After thoroughly examining my penis and foreskin the doctor concluded that a dilation procedure could loosen my foreskin. The doctor inserted a hemostat into the tip of my foreskin and open it wide. OUCH! The doctor comment that an injection of an anesthesia was in order. OUCH! again. Final my penis and foreskin was numb and the doctor preceded to re-insert the hemostat into the tip of my foreskin and open it. He repeated the procedure several times until my foreskin was loose enough to be retracted. He then retracted my foreskin such that my glans was completely exposed. I was bleeding. He bandage my penis with my foreskin in the retracted position and instructed my mother and myself that I was to keep my foreskin retracted. If it did not work I was to return in a couple of weeks to have my foreskin "circumcised".

And now, the rest of the story. Two days after the doctor performed the dilation procedure on my foreskin, my mother decided to remove the bandage that the doctor had applied. My retracted foreskin immediately slide forward covering my glans. My mother grasped my foreskin and retracted it with comment "The doctor said to keep your foreskin retracted so that adhesion would not form." " If you can't keep your foreskin retract we will return to the doctor so that he can circumcise it." I agreed with my mother. Having my glans rubbing against my clothing was uncomfortable so I slid my foreskin forward covering my glans when my mother was not looking. Eventually my foreskin re-tightened to it's original position. Two weeks later my mother asked me about the status of my foreskin. I told her that my foreskin was now fully retracted and that my glans was permanently and completely exposed. Fortunately, she did not ask to see my penis. I did not want to go back to the doctor to have him circumcise my foreskin.
