messed up circumcision

My husband had a ulcerated sore on his penis and they removed it to see if it was cancer and they called the procedure a circumcision thought he had one has an infant but now after the procedure 2 months later his penis is now stuck down in the skin or whatever and now we can't have sex or anything it is like all he has is a head of a penis and that is it. When he gets an erection it is just a big knot.

By what you said, I suppose the surgeon, considering that your husband had some kind of cancer in the skin of the shaft of his penis, probably a very malignant type, for a question of health safety, opted to cut off and remove the whole skin of the penis, from just behind the head to the end of the penis, exactly as happened to my brother, as I said in mine anterior comment on Feb, 4.
This  procedure corresponds exactly to a type of circumcision practiced by some arabs, for another reasons, and named  "radical circumcision", referred by the famous Dr. Wilfred Thesiger, the famous british doctor and adventurer, in the below comment I did about the types of eunuchs in the ancient, middle and modern ages in the "Growing trend of eunuchs/men without balls" - www.topix.com/forum :

      In several excellent articles I have ridden, are mentioned 2 kinds of eunuchs : the "complete shaved ones", without penis and testicles and the conventional type, who had only his testicles or scrotums removed.
      However there was a third kind, not very common, but who also could be found: was the eunuch with testicles but without penis, used when the rulers wanted a male with all his strength and vigor, for very hard work, but sexually useless. Technically speaking they couldn't be called eunuchs, because eunuchs must do not have balls.
      At the begining, for that making, they used to cut off the entire penis, at the level of the abdomen, but as the mortality was very high (about 70%) and the subjects had serious difficulties to pee, creating kidney problems, they invented, at that time, a new method to do it ( which became used also for the making of a similar to the " complete shaved ones", but without loosing his male strength ) :
      They cut off and removed the entire sleeve of skin of the penis, just close to the head until the base of the shaft, inlayed the unskined shaft inside the abdomen and sewed ( suturing ) the corona glans at the level of the abdomen, leaving outside the body only the penis head ( the glans ) - reason why was also called "knob surgery"; this way, that tip of the penis continued useful to pee, but useless for sex or intercourse, due to his short length, and the mortality was reduced to zero ( it was only a kind of a radical circumcision, shortening the organ to his maximum ).
      Some doctors says that a such operation is still done today in Mauritania and Sudan, where slaves and eunuchs are often sold in hidden markets, exactly as were in the past.

I had a similar case like that in my family. The surgeon take off pratically all the skin of my brother penis, suturing just behind the head and his penis, except the head, became inserted in the pelvis. When he had an erection after the surgery, he used to feel  a discomfort, but 1 year after the surgery the remaining 0,5 cm of skin left was naturally stretched to 1 cm and his penis became just a knob + 1cm. As his knob is big ( 5cm x 5cm ) he gets an erection of 6 cm. He says is sufficient to have an orgasm.

HI,

Were you able to go back to your doctor for follow-up? What other symptoms present?  This could be the effect of removing the lesion from his organ. At this point, I would really suggest that you discuss this with your doctor and to know the result if there was a biopsy done.

Take care and regards.
