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

Also forgot to mention that it just stays sucked in or hidden till I get erect or pull it out myself.  It's not because of adrenaline or anything.  It is just at that state normally...all the time.

Believe me, the story wasn't boring.  Ever since I was starting middle school, I've had this problem.  It basically has destroyed my self-esteem and confidence.  I'm 25 now and I know exactly how you felt ever since middle school.  With the anxiety, the fear, and the **** it all attitude to even do anything.  I am over weight and have worried about this my whole life. And seeing how there's STILL really nothing about this in the medical world scares the **** out of me.  HELL I didn't even have a girlfriend till I was 21.  I just hope people can find something to help them through this, because I know it's ****** my life from enjoyment and love.  Hell it also might be from lack of testosterone.  Because since middle school I've developed to what seems to be breasts.... I've seen bigger people then me not have the size of chest I have....I just don't understand. I've never have been to a doctor for all this because of money reason and even if I had money, I would probably be too ashamed to even go.  I just don't know anymore.  I feel for you all and hope your able to find help, for it to be physically or mentally.

I have a similar problem it usally happens when i am ready to fight or having an angry episode. It always comes back out so i have learned to relax and it comes back out on its own. Amd i dont think it matters how large or small it is mine is 9" hard so i dont think size is an issue as much as just an adrenaline rush. Hope this helps.. Sincerly joe

You may continue whatever treatment you are doing. You may use Deer exercise for man. Google it. It does not mention as the treatment for retracing penis. However, it gives lot of benefits for the sexua disorder. It is simple, takes less than 3 minutes a say and appears to be harm less.It is named as Deer exercise as Deer is the sexiest animal. Just try for a few days. It may work or may not. this is age old exercise.

My penis shrinks up to 1/2 inch and retracts into my body usually when I'm doing physical activities. I have to put my hand down my pants and pull it out every 5 min at the gym sometimes. It's extremely embarasing! I do have major social anxiey and depression. Not sure if its related but I really need to find out how to fix this problem. Anyone out there that has some good advice?
