A member asked:

What causes loss of sensitivity in the foreskin ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several causes: There are many causes that lead to problems with the foreskin such as diabetes, traumatic retraction of the foreskin, frequent infections, and sexual activity. This is generally not treatable but poses no significant medical problem. If problems with the foreskin, a circumcision will be required.
