So I'm a 17 year old male and I've noticed recently that sometimes after masturbating, my penis does not return to its previous position; the glands are exposed adn I cannot pull the foreskin over. I have heard of it being phimosis, but it seems to clear itself up after a few days and doesn't always happen after masturbation, only if it is perhaps a little harder than usual. I have also noticed that it has begun to smell sometimes. I don't want to see my doctor just yet. Put it simply, is this like an infection, condition like phimosis, or just a hygeine/normal issue that can be rectified?
Thanks

Hello kalix86, I would advise returning your foreskin such that it covers your glans after masturbation and personal hygiene. If your foreskin is somewhat tight, keeping it continuously retracted could strangulation of your glans. Do you fully retract your foreskin daily and clean the smegma from under the foreskin, particularly in the sulcus (groove)? If not, this could be contributing to the "smell".
Hi there no I don't for the latter so maybe I will try this. As said, it fixed itself today but other times I try and pull it over the glans and it just goes back
Hi
I agree for uncutforesk.
When in Bath or shower pull skin back and wash it to keep clean..
After you've masterbated and cum try and pull skin back over your bell end.
Any questions let me know
When you are erect, is your foreskin tight once you have retracted it and it is behind the corona of your glans?
