When the foreskin sticks behind the
penis’s head that is a condition called
parafimosis. Parafimosis can cause very
serious consequences to the penis if it
lasts too long. It is likely that one hour
is not enough time to cause any permanent
penis damage. You may want to consult a
urologist about your condition.
