Penis Genetics

[NewLeafsFan]

Does anyone know for sure if foreskin issues are genetic? If so, can it be through your dad and your moms famillies?

Most men in my family are cut so I dont know anyone that would know.

[Straya]

it can be genetic and it could be on either side

[pconnor]

I am cut but have no idea. I would think that they are heridiatry.

i suppose they could be genetic. if you're having issues might be best to have a doctor check you over

Ok, so you have 26 pairs of chromosomes and only one pair as the long X chromosome and the short Y chromosome. The genes for most characteristics are therefore on the other chromosomes. There is also nothing to suggest that sex chromosomes particularly (rather than any other kind of chromosome) determine the size or shape of sexual organs. The way sex differentiation works is that the sex chromosomes determine whether the gonads develop into ovaries or testicles and the the hormones from those determine which way the other parts develop,

So genes probably are involved in the shape of your penis just the same as for any other part. That alone may or may not account for a tight foreskin. Phimosis can sometimes be caused by scarring to part of the foreskin and this may be due to trauma or infection.

I had a cousin who had to be circumcised at 20yo, I was going to be when I was 6 but the doctor pulled my foreskin back and its normal now

WOW! Thanks, Hermes. I learned something new today.

I have no clue as to what part genes determine your penis genetics. I'm uncut as are my dad and brothers. I was told by my dad that my granddad, my uncles and my cousins on his side were uncut too. I don't know if my male relatives on my mom's side are uncut as well. But I do know that a few of my cousins on mom's are uncut.

I am uncut as well as my dad but have never had any problems. Most uncut guys have to do some bit of foreskin stretching. When you are born your foreskin is attached to your glans or penis head. As you grow older it slowly releases some guys are able to pull their foreskins back by around 5 and it can go longer on some. I have never heard of foreskin problems being genetic. It could be something to Google to find your answer.

Yeah it can be genetic, or due to other factors like scarring/infection. Hermes said it well.

[tom20012016]

Yeahh i suppose one friend had to be cut and his brothers too so probably is a genetic thing

[tyguy359]

I think any issue can be genetic. They control your biology, so...

[Stever_big_hands]

not sure if its genetics
