Thanks Doctor

I have a small follow up question.
My foreskin doesn't roll back so full ejacuation is a problem sometimes.. Does it any way hamper the process of getting pregnant.. Can I do anything to remedy it except surgery

Brief Answer:
Circumcision required

Detailed Answer:
Hi

This inability to pull back the foreskin is called phimosis.

Circumcision surgery is required to correct it.

There is no medical treatment possible.

Anyway this does not hamper getting pregnancy.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
