Hi Doctor,
Thanks for your answer.
Actually, I do not want to inquire about circumcision or Phimosis. Our primary concern is to have a baby. I have done a semen analysis and it was fine. Since we are trying for more than a year, so I was doubtful that this could be the issue. Is it possible that a person cannot become father because the foreskin does not slips back. We are enjoying a normal sex life and our intercourse lasts for around 10 mins. Please answer my question based on that I do not want any operation and Can I become a father if my foreskin does not slips back and my semen analysis is fine.
