Phimosis is when the foreskin on the penis is too tight to retract easily, potentially causing discomfort, hygiene challenges, or difficulty with urination. While common in children and often resolving naturally, in adults it can result from inflammation or scarring. Treatment options vary, including steroid creams, gentle stretching, or circumcision, which is the surgical removal of the foreskin. Maintaining good hygiene is important for all uncircumcised individuals.
