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.
Preputioplasty or prepuce plasty, also known as limited dorsal slit with transverse closure, is a plastic surgical operation on the prepuce or foreskin of the penis, [1] to widen a narrow non-retractile foreskin which cannot comfortably be drawn back off the head of the penis in erection because of a constriction which has not expanded after adolescence.

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 ...
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 ...
Restoration creates a facsimile of the prepuce, but specialized tissues removed during circumcision cannot be reclaimed. [ medical citation needed ] Surgical procedures exist to reduce the size of the opening once restoration is complete (as depicted in the image above), [ 14 ] or it can be alleviated through a longer commitment to the skin ...
One technique for reducing the clitoral hood is the bilateral excision (cutting) of the prepuce tissues covering the clitoral glans, with especial attention to maintaining the glans in the midline. [6] Another technique cuts away (excises) the redundant folds of clitoral prepuce tissue, with incisions parallel to the long axis of the clitoris. [7]
Posthitis is the inflammation of the foreskin (prepuce) of the penis. It is characterised by swelling and redness on the skin and it may be accompanied by a malodorous discharge. The term posthitis comes from the Greek "posthe", meaning foreskin, and "-itis", meaning inflammation.
