What Should I Do If The Foreskin On My Penis Does Not Retract?

Hi, i am 23 and my penis foreskin can be retracted when it is limp. But when penis become erect, it can only be retracted with huge pain. I have noticed that the mouth of my foreskin is small and that is where it hurts. What should i do now? Should i consult a doctor or are the stretching exercises enough??

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Foreskin of the penis is suppose to move back and forth for two reasons. One: for easy penetration inside the vagina and to have sexual pleasure and Two: for cleaning the area beneath the foreskin. Both are essential.

You can consult a general surgeon to have your penis circumcised. Circumcision is a simple surgical procedure and easily recoverable. Alternatively use some lubrication like mustard oil to stretch the foreskin back and forth for a fortnight or so and it should be alright.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
