A member asked:
Can you tell me what occurs if my penis isn't pulled back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question is unclear: Please rephrase. Do u mean what occurs if foreskin can not be retracted (phimosis)?. Inability to retract skin means inability to clean penis under foreskin or to remove smegma. This isn't good for hygiene ; sub-optimal for sex or masturbation.Need to consult urologist if foreskin is phimotic.Treatments include prescription strength steroid cream or surgical removal, circumcision or prepucioplasty.
