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 have had this problem for a long time, and it is embarrassing because erect I am 6 and half in, but flaccid it can shrink 2 to 1 in... But reading these post have been helpful, I have been exercising and eating right for a few weeks so hopefully it will get better because i work in Alaska and last winter it was just painful in -10 freezing temperature. But for the guys who are self conscious about being small and are in relationships, the thing that brought my great sex life to amazing was the use of toys with my last 2 girlfriends.. A cheap 20 dollar vibrating penis ring and the use of a vibrator goes a long way.
Also has anyone had success with the Deer exercise? I guess most people are not getting help from doctors so I am willing try anything reasonable at this point

and I will try the Male deer exercises and Kundalini yoga,

my Pt has been doing rectal massages and I've been going for 2 months

cialis seemed to help as well tho my Penis is still not normal like it was 2-3 years ago and I'm thinking blood flow is being constricted and I'm not getting proper blood flow due to this injury and anxiety and clenching play a part in it as wll

tho anymore help would be appreciated and I will be sure to update

For pelvic floor strengthening, one may do kegel exercises. Contraction of perineum is another exercise to increase blood circulation in groin area.
There are 4 types of prostate massages. One is massage by finger through the anus. This can be done properly by a partner. Second is anal peripheral prostate massage, third is abdominal peripheral prostate massage and last is inner thai massage. Google there words to get at the real massage method. This will help in some way in Panic pen ice.As there are no specific remedies , I am suggesting these possible solutions. You may add male deer exercise.Kundalini yoga is good for all sexual dsioders. One can find some techniques from this type of yoga system.

This problem has pretty much ruined my life for over 10 yeard. It keeps me from certain types of work and other situations because I have to consider will I have a place to pull things out. My doctor has told me its harmless but when it happens I just cant not fix it. I go into a type of panic. I have no idea what to do but I just cant handle this much longer
