A member asked:

Foreskin of my penis gets back only till bottom of penis head is that a problem or its normal

Specializes in Pediatrics

Full retraction : Ordinarily the foreskin should be able to be retracted behind the head of the penis. If yours doesn't retract that far, there may be a problem, such as a partial phimosis. See your doctor for clarification and referral to an urologist if necessary.
