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

Hey dude, we all know you are not only the person with this problem. As you can see now, that we all have one thing in common, it is funny and at the same time it is disheartening, especially when you are in a crown full of women. I have observed that women tend to "measure" men-up lol. I would
change subjects right away. Anyway back to the problem, I'm no expert medically, but after looking at some guys who are "well-endowed" and their physical make-up, those men seem to have no fat around the base area of the penis and looking at their stomach they tend to have no fat and at the obliques there's that definition of muscles that looks like it connects down to the penis. Penises are made up of muscles right?. I don't know if you know what i'm trying to get at. Anyway i think with mine i have red or read some stuff about this sort of problem, some are probably caused by really uncomfortable situations as a young child, hormone imbalance, and some lack of nutrients and environment. I too am scared to discuss it with my doctor or anyone. i have heard some idiots even make fun of me about it and it really makes me uncomfortable and it does affect me. Especially when egotiscal F---kwits mention words like " if you have the balls for it" LOL. Anyway, One time my penis was hanging and it looked like i was burning the fats of the base just blow the stomach muscles. You know how fats burn off and turn to muscles...

Alpha blockers may completely resolve this issue.  Please ask your Doctor, in particular a hypertension specialist, about alpha blockers.  Explain your symptoms and request a trial.  The vasoconstriction you have is causing the shrinkage.  The arterioles are very sensitive to adrenal stimulation.  You can block this stimulation peripherally with Hytrin (terazosin), Cardura (doxazosin), or Minipress (prazosin).  

Do not try to heal vasoconstriction with meditation, exercise, etc.  All of this helps of course, but the constriction is not limited to the penis - the heart may also be affected - often the penis is most sensitive to arterial blood flow.  

Also rule out, pheochromocytoma, thyroid disease and peripheral vascular disease.

Good for you man. It sounds like while the problem does bother you somewhat you are not letting it ruin your life. I have probably one of the smallest penises ever and often find that I do not have one at all when I look down. I am 47 and it greatly has affected my life. However, when I found a young lady 25 years ago that accepted me for how God made me, it did wonders for my confidence. Looking at porn doesn't help with that confidence as some of the biggest penises are found there. I just have to accept that God made me this way for a reason, whether it was to be more humble and more compassionate towards others or to accomodate the right woman that cannot take a large penis. Not exactly sure but I have come to accept who I am and Thank God for the many other blessings in my life!
