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

I get this too. This is weird and very scary when it happens. I don't now what is causing this and have never ever had this happen before. I have been suffering from extreme anxiety recently and am wondering if this is the cause. It is very scary and weird. I actually have to push in on my bladder or at the base of my penis to get it to pop back out. I have also had my testicles get pushed up inside and had to do the same thing....push on the lump in my pelvic floor muscles to get it or them to pop back out into place! I just hope this is not dangerous or a bad thing and hope it would not create any serious health issues.

Another method comes to my mind is Uthit Padmasan. This is yougic posture. Even one can sit cross legged on a floor oron a cot and a mattress. Keep on jumping on your buttocks, keeping your palms on the floor or mattress.Here  you leverage your palm for jumping.You can navigate Lotus postures or padmasan and you will find details of this posture.

I have read about this problem since long. NO spicific remedy is suggested by anyone.
One may take a chance with male deer exercise.This is a simple massage. It may also help to resolve some other sexual problem as well. Google the word Male deer exercise.Practice for a month to find our whether it helps you in some way. Just try.

I'm overweight and working on it.
For my retracted penis, I wrap about an inch wide single layer band of  gauze around my penis just behind the hood, then a 1/2 inch wide band of masking tape over the gauze. Keeps the penis from retracting and allows urination.

You can imagine my delight to discover I'm not the only one.  I've had the problems for many years.  However, it seemed to begin after a military sever trauma that could have taken my life.  My life passed before my eyes because I was sure that I would die.  The military and their incompetence failed to take care of me properly and it is by the grace of God that it wasn't more serious - rupture pancreas.  However, the 1st Sgt tried to put me back to work right away when it was obvious I'd be out of commision for a while.  It was abuse.  I think the entire incident cause PTSD, which surfaced afterwards in the form of extreme anxieties which I still suffer from today.  The injury, slightly numb still, feels like it's pulling my left testicle inward.  It's actually very painful and I engage in some odd pulling out behavior that I finally told my wife about 3 weeks ago.  Pride has kept me from applying for disability, but that's over now.  I'll be submitting paper work any day now, which I get up the nerve to face the VA and the resistence they'll give me.  I've also hurt my knee and my shoulder pretty bad.  Exercise is very difficult now.  SO I've put on some pounds since then and since my children were born.  PUllin gon my privates approaches what we call "near occasion of sin", but I'm trying to put that aside so that I can deal with the physical nature of the problem to get over it.  I quit a job to deal with some of the anxieties now.  I've also returned to college for teacher certification.  I've changed my diet and started to exercise more, but need to get back at it again.  It's slow, but I have to do it so that I can live.  I'm 50 with 3 children.  We've been married 23 years this summer.  This is causing me a lot of anxieties and drastically killing my self-esteem.
