What Causes Loose Foreskin?

Hi. I am uncircumcised but I noticed that the end of my foreskin is rather loose, hence covering only half of the glans when flaccid. Is this abnormal? Is there a way to tighten the foreskin tip so that it fully covers and protects the glans (as it should)?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If foreskin can't retracted back fully on glans than it is called paraphimosis condition. It can lead problem in sexual intercourse. So if paraphimosis present than surgical treatment can be done for that like circumcision. Consult urologist for examination.

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