A member asked:
What can i do if my glans does not retract even when flaccid and the head is out of foreskin.is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: For glans penis as swelling may occur and impair circulation. Not wise to leave foreskin retracted indefinitely. Should get seen by a urologist for evaluation to decide if intervention is required based on how long it has been this way. Good luck!
