| | Phimosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Circumcision is the traditional surgical solution for pathologic phimosis, and is effective. | | | In this acute condition, the glans is swollen and painful, and the foreskin is immobilized by the swelling in a partially retracted position. | | | Phimosis has become a topic of contention in circumcision debates (see 14 and Medical analysis of circumcision). |

| | Phimosis can be treated without surgery if it is painful or if the urinary flow is obstructed. | | | When the normal development of the prepuce is properly understood, one can easily see that patiently awaiting the natural development of preputial retractability will usually eliminate the need for medical or surgical intervention. | | | May be treated (if any treatment is needed) without surgery. |

| | Phimosis, Smegma and Paraphimosis |
| | Phimosis that has persisted beyond age 8 is outside the 'normal' range and the safest and most sensible approach is to treat it. | | | Obviously someone who has reached teenage years with phimosis needs help and I'm not at all suggesting that instructing them in safe stretching techniques is disastrous. | | | It's normally a secondary condition and the only medical records I recall associating it with phimosis was for secondary phimosis acquired after an improperly performed (usually too loose) circumcision. |

| | Topical Steroids Key To Overcoming Phimosis |
| | The researchers conclude that treatment with topical steroids, combined with stretching exercises, is a suitable alternative to surgical correction (either preputial plasty or complete circumcision). | | | This was in marked contrast to the group of boys who were treated with stretching alone, where the success rate was much lower. | | | The researchers, from the Pediatric Surgical Unit at the University of Verona in Italy, carried out the study on 247 boys aged between 4 and 14, who all suffered from phimosis. |

| | Oster’s study, involving almost 2000 schoolboys followed to physical maturity, showed otherwise: by the age of 17 years, and without any form of intervention, the foreskin had become fully retractable in all boys except 1% who had developed true phimosis as a secondary phenomenon. | | | non-retractile foreskin, where the prepuce is wholly or partially non-retractable due to persistence of developmental adherence between glans and foreskin (‘preputial adhesions’); this is often associated with a preputial orifice which, although somewhat narrow, is supple and unscarred (‘physiological phimosis’). | | | Some authors still refer to the presence of “adhesions,” when, in fact, separation has not yet taken place; similarly, a nonretractile foreskin is sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as phimosis. |

| | Encyclopedia Of Phimosis Statistics. phimosis, foreskin problems and male initiation |
| | This site discusses infant adhesions, skinbridges, phimosis and frenulum breve. | | | He wrote "phimosis was found in 4% of all observations, but with a diminishing incidence throughout the years, from 8% in 6-7 year-olds, to 1% in 16-17 year-olds." In addition his calculations show an incidence of 1.4% for tight foreskin among the 16-17 year-olds. | | | - The frequency of phimosis is inevitably too low due to the fact that medical checks are conducted in the flaccid state: phimosis is by nature less elastic, and expands relatively less than the rest of the foreskin, therefore any difficulty with retraction when flaccid, is magnified when erect. |
