Penis retracting into body

[shannonwooten]

My husband fell on his penis when he was younger while at a skating ring- he is now 20. Ever since then, he had a indention above his penis. Another symptom is that his penis retracts into his body when his adrenaline gets going. He would literally have to pull it out before it goes all the way in.

I have tried looking up these symptoms but only found one thing called "Penis Panic" pretty much saying that its a beliefe where men think their penis is going to retract into their body and disapear. Well, this def is not something in his head, lol... really happens.

Anyone else heard of this? He went to the doc- the doc is going to call him back cause he doesnt know what it could be.

Thanks in advance,
Shannon

I've had this problem for about a year now. I had to start taking thyroid and blood pressure medicine after a near fatal motorcycle accident. My penis went from about 4" flaccid to maybe 1". I have almost no feeling in it usually and it retracts all the way in causing extreme discomfort. This happens almost constantly throughout the day and is very embarrassing because I cant help but keep "adjusting myself". I usually have to pull it out to urinate. I still get full size during intercourse, but I sometimes have to coax it into getting hard and sometimes it goes limp during intercourse and won't get hard again. I've talked to my doctor and she tells me that it is due to weight gain, which I think may be adding to it, but not the entire issue. I've seen a few recommendations on here that I may try. Other than this posting, I have not seen any other info about this problem.

Thank you guys for being so open and honest on this subject. I am the wife of a wonderful man that is having the same problem I am seeing here. Only difference is one of his testicles also retracts into his abdomen. He has seen his doctor and a urologist which have both given him the response of " thats odd, hmm, I don't know. They assure him it's not a hernia but that's about it. I love my husband the way he is, but this really bothers him so I have been searching for causes and solutions for him. He is very active with his job, but not in great shape, he does not drink alcohol, and he does suffer from anxiety and depression from time to time. He says it ALWAYS happens when he has had an energy drink of some kind, be it 5 hr energy, Monster, etc. It also happens after sex and sometimes when he's cold.  I'm going to tell him about the posts I've seen about strengthening the muscles in that area and see how that goes. But I just want to say to all the men here, there are good women that are not going to care if you have this issue, and will be only concerned for your well being.

Sounds like suspensory ligament detachment.
Get GP to refer to a Urologist

I personally can vouch that this happens. However for me, it only occurs when I start to run. Walking, elliptical, or with weightlifting it doesn't happen, but as soon as I run it begins retracting. The only thing I can say is that physically there is no danger of damage, it's just unsettling and uncomfortable. If he ever finds a solution I'd love to hear about it.
