Question 1

sometimes when i wake up in the morning, i find that the foreskin on my penis is rolled back. is this a medically known issue ?

Accepted Answer

No: The foreskin can be in any position it wishes to be.  There is no medical issue unless the skin is reddened or inflamed, and thus stays rolled back behind the glans because the foreskin is actually a bit swollen.

Question 2

hello, i am 28 years old and the foreskin on my penis doesnt go back at all, i didnt know that it was uncommon until today. is it something that i have to worry about?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, this might cause serious problems one day. In particular, if somehow forced beyond the head of your penis, it might not be able to return easily and could cut off blood flow. Perhaps nothing need be done, but you definitely should see a urologist for evaluation to check out the risks. Good luck.

Question 3

the foreskin on my penis doesn't come back, what are the harms? and what kind of a doctor should i consult with, to rectify this?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

i got so much foreskin on my penis. its like i have a elephant nose/ elephant trunck over my penis head. but i can still pull the skin back and see the head. i just wonder, when my penis has stopped growing will my so called "elephant nose" go away ?

Accepted Answer

Be nice to elephants: A popular song says there's no such thing as "having too much fun," "too much money," or "a girl too pretty."  In reality, if a guy's foreskin pulls back and forth easily, and he pees nice and straight, and he never gets irritation or infections of his glans, then there's also no such thing as a "foreskin too long."  Each person is unique. If worried, one can show his foreskin to his doctor.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 8

cant pull back my foreskin (penis).. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis: Needs to be corrected otherwise u can't clean under the foreskin. Options are prescription strength steroid cream tike betamethasone, triamcinolone or kenalog applied twice daily to stretched foreskin twice daily for 2 - 3 months, circumcision or prepucioplasty (foreskin retaining procedure). Circumcision is the definitive treatment. Best 2 consult with a urologist.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Relax: Relax. Don't over manipulate and cause swelling. Soak in warm water. Lubricate with KY.  Wait. See urologist if unresolved.

Question 10

my penis bends a little to the left and i can't pull my foreskin back. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends upon how much the bend is. Generally a small curve is benign. There's no real reason to pull your foreskin all the way back anyway. If you're worried, ask your doctor.
