Suggest Treatment For Non Retraction Of Foreskin
Question: while doing intercourse, I have got my penis foreskin retracted exposing about 1.5 inch portion. But it is not getting back to its position even after the penis is restored to normal shape. the skin has got stuck in the form of several folds behind the shaft. IS IT NORMAL or I HAVE TO SEE a DOCTOR?
Brief Answer:
It is Paraphimosis most likely and requires urgent decompression.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You have a condition called Paraphimosis.
Did you earlier have problems retracting your skin?
You could be having a tight band restricting its return back.
The retracted skin would have become swollen and light pink to white.
You should see a Surgeon immediately to get it back to its position as it can have problems later on. It can loose its blood supply and lead to gangrene.
Therefore, it is imperative that you go to the Emergency department and see a Surgeon on call.
Take care and do let me know if I can help with any more queries on this issue.
