Penis retracting into body

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

no one has mentioned alcohol consumption. i am a heavy drinker (49) and work construction outside. it used to only happen in the winter or heavy lifting but now its all the time and i have to take every opprotunity to pull it out because its so uncomfortable. i quit smoking 2 years ago, no change. one thing that may help is not just to pull it out but rather take the time to fluff it up a bit as this gives me relief for a while. anyone useing a pump? im thinking of trying one.

I too have this problem when exercising or stretching.  I'm 39 and had it for the last ten years.  I think I might have acquired it from taking ALLERGY MEDICATIONS.  Actually, after I started taking allergy medication I noticed I started developing all kinds of problems (High Blood Pressure, Fatigue, Memory Loss, Vision Loss).  Just wondering if any of you took Allergy medication or Creatine or Weightgainer?  Because I took these sometime before this started happening!!!  Its the only thing I can think of that could have caused it.  I live a pretty healthy life style in terms of exercise and diet.

I had a hard fall a few years ago and now have this problem. I believe I must have torn something or have a hernia do to the fall. When working out it does it thus it could be a hernia. Although sexually I have no difference I still get mourning wood and my size is the same around 7". Its just annoying when it shrinks to less then an inch.
