Phimosis is a term used for tight foreskin. Phimosis is when you cannot pull the foreskin back to see the tip of the penis. In some cases, the skin may fold back when the penis is relaxed but is unable to withdraw when the penis is erect. When the foreskin is tight, there is minor trauma to the foreskin during each erection and sexual activity. This generates to loss of elastic fibres due to scarring. In adults, sexually transmitted infections or other infections such as balanitis can be associated with phimosis.
Adult Circumcision is an operation that matches men’s cosmetic and functional requirements. Tightness of the foreskin can be due to BXO or Lichen Sclerosis.
