How Should I Do If My Foreskin Does Not Retract?
Hi, I'm 19 but have only recently realised that my foreskin doesn't retract as it should. After a couple of months of stretching I can get it back behind the head but was wondering how far I should be able to stretch it back and whether I need any treatment?

Hello,
There is no standard amount when it comes to foreskin retraction. If at any point it causes pain or having intercourse is painful, you can undergo a minor procedure to have the frenulum that attaches your foreskin cut. I don't believe you need any treatment at present.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
