Quick Summary

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin of the penis is too tight to be retracted over the glans. This congenital anomaly can sometimes impede the flow of urine. The foreskin, also known as the prepuce, is a fold of skin that covers the glans penis. While phimosis is a developmental abnormality, it can be treated with circumcision.12
