Phimosis
Phimosis: A Non-Surgical Approach to Promote Retraction and Restore Function
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis. While this is common in children and typically resolves naturally by adolescence, in adults it can cause pain with erections, hygiene problems, and recurring inflammation. In more severe cases, phimosis may progress to paraphimosis, a urologic emergency where the retracted foreskin becomes stuck behind the glans, restricting blood flow and risking permanent injury.
