I have phimosis, but I don’t know how to tell my parents

A 13-year-old boy asks for help dealing with this problem at home

Doctor, I had phimosis when I was 13, but I don’t know how to tell my parents. What should I do?

First of all we need to make sure that you really have phimosis. Phimosis is the narrowing of the foreskin (the skin covering the glans, i.e. the head of the penis). It makes it difficult for the glans to enter and exit through this skin. You need to be sure that you have phimosis and know the degree of this phimosis to know what needs to be done.

This is possible only after consulting a specialist. In order to see a doctor at age 13, it is important that you talk to your parents. There is no point in talking about your body with your parents – this is the first point.

If this were impossible, if there was no type of dialogue in your home, I would create a space, a condition with someone you trust, so that you can go to the doctor.

It is important to go to the doctor, yes, to do this evaluation. And if you need any kind of procedure, you will need their permission.
