Any purported connection between these two conditions and pelvic pain? I read that because of hygiene, phimosis puts one at a higher risk of urinary tract infections. Perhaps this could trigger CPPS? (speculating)
I've had phimosis and balanitis for as long as I can remember.

I don't know about the tight foreskin, but a LOT of posters have mentioned redness at the tip of their penis. I've seen this symptom mentioned a few times just in the last two weeks alone. Do some searching for "redness" and I bet you some up with a lot of hits.
