Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I can retract my foreskin of penis in flaccid state, but when erect I cannot pull it back. Only 25% of glans will be seen when I pull it in erect state. What is the treatment for this? Will surgery or medicine or stretching exercises be effective? Also, can I make my wife pregnant with this condition? I do not have problem in urination and also ejaculation. But, when I ejaculate it does not go far as foreskin is above glans. I lose erection while intercourse as foreskin is forced to slide down while having sex. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • If in flaccid position you have normal urination, then it is fine and no surgical illness present.
  • You can make your wife pregnant as it is normal and not any illness.
  • As age advances semen throwing capacity slows down, but it never affects pregnancy.
  • Losing erection while insertion happens in initial days, but later on became normal and definitely while sex do not be in hurry. Use some water based lubricants like KY jelly to have a smooth intercourse. Insert penis very slowly.
  • Even then if you have any problem, then you need to consult a urologist and get your penis examined.
