Penis foreskin issue

2026-11-10 08:28:08
Hello Doctor, I have a concern regarding my foreskin. I am uncircumcised, but for many years my foreskin has not stayed covering the glans (head) of my penis. Even when I pull it forward to cover the glans, it automatically rolls back and exposes the glans again. Could you please tell me whether this is normal, or whether it could be due to a short foreskin, foreskin fibrosis/scarring, or paraphimosis? I am attaching a picture for your reference. Kindly examine it and let me know what the possible issue could be and whether any treatment is required. Thank you, Doctor.

Based on your description, a foreskin that automatically rolls back and leaves the glans exposed is highly likely to be a normal anatomical variation, commonly known as a natural retraction or a short prepuce (foreskin). For many adult men, the length and elasticity of the foreskin are such that it rests comfortably behind the head of the penis, which is perfectly healthy as long as it does not cause pain or swelling. If this has been the case for many years and causes no pain, discomfort during erections, or restriction, no treatment is required.
