Generally yes: But this can change as you get older. If you have concerns, discuss it w/your doctor or a urologist.

Uncomfortably swollen penis head during erection, once foreskin is retracted, it continues to swell until it goes numb. I've been given some hypocortisole cream and tried it for a week, several times over the last few months but no effect?

Foreskin tore during sex and when it healed it was to tight to pull back. It tore again when I did get it to retracted past my penile head. Do I need to see a doctor for it to heal proper without the tightness or will it repair itself back with time?
