How To Get Back Elasticity Of My Foreskin?
I am a male, 46 years old and in good general health. Over the last two months, I've noticed that part of my foreskin has lost it's elasticity. It makes it very difficult to pull it back over the head of the penis. How can I treat this, and should I be worried.

Hi,
It's not uncommon to lose elasticity as we age. As we age our tissues lose their flexible nature due to the reduced collagen content in the tissues. You need not worry about it. If it really bothers you, you may undergo a circumcision surgery to get rid of this trouble.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
