Is It Normal For The Foreskin To Not Retract Over The Glans Penis?

I am 22 yrs old. My foreskin doesnt retract over glans. If i do it forcefully, i am able to stretch it till half of the glans, when i leave it, returns back to the tip of glans. Is it normal? Will this affect me later in life during intercourse? Please help me. My friend had tje same things. He did circumcision. Is there any need need to do it? Dont we have any non surgical methods? Should i forcefully stretch it?

Hi,

You have to apply significant force to retract foreskin over glans. Hence it is suggestive of phimosis condition. For that topical steroid can be prescribed which is helpful in relieving mild phimosis.

But if problem not solved then you have to undergo circumcision operation. Circumcision is the minor surgical procedure and doesn't worry about that. I suggest you consult the urologist for an examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
