Hello doctor,my problem is that I have over-sensitive glans and I can t touch it.Even though I am afraid to retract my foreskin because it causes big discomfort.i can t retract my foreskin when I m erect. What can I do for the sensitivity?? It s so annoying and almost painful.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A hypersensitive penis is seen in many people. The head of penis as such is a very sensitive structure and in some people it is even more hypersensitive. This can cause erections at the slightest touch and become an embarrassment. Also, it can lead to problems like difficulty in retracting the fore skin. You can try applying lidocaine 2 percent gel to the tip of your penis during sex. This will not allow the penis to get hyperactive, and you can enjoy sexual intercourse. Also use lots of lubricants so that the foreskin is easily retractable. If you can't retract the foreskin even with lubrication then please do not try and retract with force. This can damage the foreskin, and it is better to see the urologist if you can't retract completely after applying lubrication gel.
