Yes. After the prostate has been removed, there is a gap between the bladder neck and the urethra that has to be bridged. In some men, the bladder is mobile and easily reaches the urethral stump. In this case, there is little retraction of the penis. In other cases, it is a “stretch” to pull the bladder and urethra together, and the penis gets “pulled up” inside. With time and return of regular erections, this retraction often corrects itself, which is why I encourage men to have erections naturally or artificially, early and regularly after a radical prostatectomy.
