penis problem.. advice needed
by sammy_prl, Jan 21, 2006 12:00AM
Hi
I have a problem with my penis. When it is flacid it is very small. It retracts a lot and make it even smaller when i excerise and then becomes very sore and the foreskin damages it, an i believe this is the cause for some discoloration and marks on the head as well as under the foreskin. I usually have to stop exercising when this happens to allow it to unretract (lack of a better word)
My Question are
1)
I have no problem when it is a more full when flacid, but it is hardly ever like that. Is there a way to keep it full, do i have some blood flow problem ?
2) I use baby oil and vaseline jelly to keep it from soreness an use this every day, morning and evening and before exercise.
is this safe to use with that frequency?
I usually cannot do without some type of lotion.
Thanks

To answer your questions:
1) If there is concern about the blood flow, an ultrasound can be done to determine if there is any problems with the arteries supplying the penis.
2) I am not aware of side-effects from long-term use of baby oil and vaseline jelly. However, to be safe, I would discuss use of this with your personal physician or dermatologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
