Slight Pain During S*x and Fear of Paraphimosis
As the title suggests, I seem to be experiencing slight pain because my foreskin feels tight. Throughout my life, I had never pulled my foreskin back completely.
I recently visited a urologist, who examined me and suddenly pulled my foreskin back without any difficulty. I didn't feel any pain at all. He even retracted it further and asked me what the problem was. In my mind, I was thinking, "I've struggled to pull my foreskin back all these years, but you were able to do it so easily!"
I explained to him that I experience slight pain during sexual intercourse. He asked me whether I experienced any pain while urinating or had noticed any tears or bleeding during intercourse. I said no, and he replied, "You're good to go. Don't overthink this; otherwise, you might have difficulty getting an erection because of your anxiety."
I then asked him what I should do if my foreskin tears. He told me to apply pressure for 30–45 minutes to stop the bleeding and come back the next day for a check-up.
I also asked him what would happen if my foreskin got stuck behind the head of my penis and I couldn't pull it forward again. He said that I should manually pull it forward to return it to its normal position.
At that moment, I felt relieved because I thought I didn't have phimosis or any other problem. However, whenever I have s*x end up worrying about the possibility of my foreskin getting stuck behind the head of my penis and causing paraphimosis.
I'm genuinely afraid that this might happen to me. When I Googled it, I read that if the foreskin gets stuck behind the head of the penis, it can restrict blood flow and requires immediate medical attention. Reading this made me even more anxious.
Even though my urologist reassured me, I still can't stop worrying about it during sex. I'm afraid that something might go wrong, and this fear is making it difficult for me to relax and enjoy the experience.
