Why doesn't my foreskin retract?

I think I have phimosis. My foreskin doesn't retract past my glans. I don't have any other problems though. I don't have pain or have difficulty during urination. I didn't even know that this is a problem until my friend told me. And now I'm terrified that I will have complications in the future and I'll have to eventually opt for surgery. Please tell me what to do. I can't focus on anything not even my studies. Is this a huge problem? Should I tell my dad?

I agree women prefer a circumcised penis you don't need all that extra skin getting in the way and a lot of men don't clean it properly risk of infection and it can smell yuk

I think it is perfectly fine. If you can urinate without a problem, you are OK. There is no such thing as an ordinary penis. They are all unique, but very similar. If you masturbate with no issue, you are fine.

You can make an appointment with a urologist and if needed, he can numb things and with a quick snip, set you free. That is up to you. It will take a couple of weeks to heal.

As for it being "a huge priblem," wishful thinking. ;)
