Physiologic phimosis, common in males 10 years of age and younger, is normal, and does not require intervention. [26] [35] [27] Non-retractile foreskin usually becomes retractable during the course of puberty. [27] If phimosis in older boys or adult males is not causing acute and severe problems, nonsurgical measures may be effective.

The Mogen clamp is then slid over the foreskin. After confirming that the tip of the glans is free of the blades, the clamp is locked, and a scalpel is used to cut the skin from the flat (upper) side of the clamp. In newborns, no sutures are required. Outside of the newborn period, cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive can be used instead of sutures. [8]
Phimosis (both pathologic and normal childhood physiologic forms) is a risk factor for paraphimosis; [5] physiologic phimosis resolves naturally as a child matures, but it may be advisable to treat pathologic phimosis via long-term stretching or elective surgical techniques (such as preputioplasty to loosen the preputial orifice or circumcision ...
Webbed penis also known as buried or concealed penis is an acquired or congenital condition in which the scrotal skin extends onto the ventral penile shaft. The penile shaft is buried in the scrotum or tethered to the scrotal midline by a fold or web of skin.
Hygiene, in particular the regular cleaning of the glans, is generally considered sufficient to prevent infection and inflammation of the foreskin.Full retraction of the foreskin may not be possible in boys younger than about ten years and some may not be able to fully retract their foreskin for cleaning until their late teens.
Frenulum restricts the movement of the prepuce, even when not causing obvious phimosis. When the foreskin is completely retracted over the glans, a short frenulum tugs down the glans. One study arbitrarily defined a "short frenulum" as that which causes a ventral curvature of the glans major of 20° or more upon gentle retraction of the ...
Dorsal slit has a long history as a treatment for adult phimosis, [1] since compared with circumcision it was relatively easy to perform, did not risk damage to the frenulum, and before the invention of antibiotics was less likely to become infected.
