Foreskin no longer fully retracts

I am in my fifties and over the last few years my foreskin seems to have become attached to my penis head. It doesn't interfere with my toileting or sexual needs, although it can become sore if I am too rough. i did have a build up of a pus underneath it after some rough play.

Is this normal for older men? Can anything be done? I would be very reluctant to have a circumcision as a friend has one and has left him in a lot of pain

You need to get your penis examined by a doctor to find out exactly what is going on with it. You may have an infection.

I had a similar issue without the pus,I was around 25 years old and I started feeling uncomfortable after having sex, didn’t think much about it, got my my 40s and it was getting sore after sex, had a frenulopasty done in 2019 which help a bunch and finally got circumcised last November, all I can say I don’t regret it one bit,

Hi Man, you should have it checked with your doctor there can be a underlying cause which can make it more difficult to retract the foreskin.
