Phimosis is a disorder in which the skin of your foreskin is tight that it stops you from being in a position to pull or retract it back. This can happen in babies or young boys who aren't circumcised, but it usually goes away at the age of three.

There are two types of phimosis that are physiological (congenital) and pathological. Physiological phimosis doesn't need treatment, but pathological phimosis does.


Symptoms


Phimosis can be a problem with the foreskin, which covers the head of the penis (glans) and can cause swelling or pain when you urinate. It can also cause urinary tract infection in adults and disrupt healthy erections.



Most children develop phimosis during natural development. It usually disappears between 5-7 years of age, but some boys may have a longer time to heal.



There are two kinds of phimosis: physiologic and pathologic phimosis. Physiologic phimosis is normal for males who are not circumcised and is caused by separation of the foreskin from the prepuce or penis that occurs naturally over time.



In pathologic phimosis, the foreskin becomes ineffective and cannot separate from the prepuce. This occurs due to scarring or inflammation. It is more frequent in older boys. It could be a sign that a boy is suffering from balanitis, eczema or another skin condition, such as psoriasis or lichenplanus.


Diagnosis


The diagnosis of phimosis is made with an exhaustive physical exam and medical history. If the doctor suspects an infection, they will conduct an swab of the skin and may also request urine tests and blood tests to determine if there is a presence of bacteria.



The symptoms of phimosis are typically mild in children and will disappear when they reach an age of around. However should the foreskin become retracted and the head of the penis is stuck in this position (paraphimosis) it could be painful and lead to complications.



Pathologic phimosis is a rare condition, but can happen in infants or adults who have skin conditions that affect the skin of the foreskin as well as the glans. These include psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus and lichen sclerosis.



The condition is more frequent among uncircumcised men and usually can be treated with daily gentle manual retractions. Smegma, a collection skin cells, aids in the separation of the foreskin and the penis's head during retraction.


Treatment


There are many treatment options for phimosis. They include topical steroid creams and circumcision, which involves removing the foreskin (circumcision).



In many cases, phimosis resolves on its own in children when their excessive foreskin relaxes and can be pulled back. If a child's phimosis doesn't resolve or they have problems with urination or hygiene or hygienic issues, they should seek out with a doctor.



The doctor will examine your son to determine the source of phimosis. The doctor will then prescribe the right treatment. If the cause of phimosis was a bacterial infection, your doctor might prescribe antifungal creams or antibiotics.



Some older boys and men are not able to recover on their own. A corrective procedure is required (circumcision). Circumcision reduces the chance of phimosis recurring in the future. It is crucial to keep the wound clean and dry.


The following is a list with preventions.


The best way to prevent phimosis is to maintain a healthy hygiene and maintaining the skin beneath the foreskin clean and free of infection. The gentle washing of the foreskin and penis with warm water on a daily basis can help prevent problems.



Topical creams for steroid use, like hydrocortisone ointment from 1% to 2,5% can be used to safely treat physicologic the phimosis. The treatment usually lasts between 3-6 weeks.



If the condition persists, a surgical procedure called circumcision could be necessary. The procedure could be a complete or partial procedure, or a combination of both.



Circumcision is usually performed on children, but it is also a possibility for older males or men who have a phimosis that isn't improving. It's usually considered a last resort, but it can also lead to dangerous complications, so it's crucial to weigh the risks before deciding whether or not to have this surgery. It's best to discuss the benefits of and against circumcision with your physician before making a decision. It is important to have your body checked for phimosis regularly, irrespective of your age.
