It is not clear in your question how the
hole is closing or what you're actually
describing. I'll have to assume that
you're talking about the urethra. Chronic
inflammation of the penis’s gland
(balanitis) can cause strictures of the
urethra’s opening. Tumors that grow near
the urethra’s opening can also cause the
urethra to close. Treatment of such
conditions is usually surgical. You can
definitely consult a urologist about this
condition and seek diagnosis and
treatment.
