Phimosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin, the skin that covers the head of the penis, cannot be easily retracted. It can be physiological in the early years of life or appear later on for various reasons.
Common causes: In children it is usually part of normal development; in other cases it is associated with inflammation, repeated infections, or scarring in the area.
Possible discomfort: Difficulty retracting the skin, local irritation, or discomfort when urinating in some people.
The professional who treats this condition is the urologist, and in childhood the pediatrician can provide the initial guidance and refer if necessary. If you have concerns about this topic, the wisest thing to do is discuss them with a professional who can assess your particular situation.
