What Causes Shrinking Of Foreskin With Lack Of Retraction?
Hello. I am 44 years old, 12 stone 12 and in good health as I run twice per week and train karate for a 2 hour session each week. Over recent weeks I have found my foreskin appears to have shrunk and it no longer retracts over the head of my penis when errect. I stretch the skin most days and use KY Gel or baby oil to help but I am wooried as it does not seem to be helping. Like most men I hate going to my doc and would very much appreciate any advice...

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The condition which you are having is phimosis where the foreskin gets difficult to retract over the glans penis. I would recommend you to get circumcision done otherwise this tight foreskin will make a ring around penis head leading to pain and recurrent infection and inflammation of glans penis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
