Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some...: There is no reason for a 28-y man's penis to retract except having severe tight and long foreskin with impossibility to retract for regular hygiene. To verify what you really referred to , seek professional evaluation and counseling. If from long tight foreskin, do circumcision timely.
