What is Phimosis (Tight Foreskin)?
Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the glans (head) of the penis. This narrow foreskin or tight prepuce is more common in children but can persist or develop in adults, often causing pain, hygiene challenges, and even infections.
While it’s natural in infancy, tight foreskin in adults is usually considered abnormal and may require medical attention, especially if it leads to other complications like balanitis or paraphimosis.
Symptoms of a Tight Foreskin (Phimosis)
Key symptoms indicating the need for urology consultation include:
- Foreskin won’t pull back completely
- Pain during intercourse or erections
- Inflammation or redness of the foreskin or glans
- Discomfort during urination
- Foreskin hygiene issues or foul odor
- Recurrent infections like balanitis

What Causes a Tight Foreskin?
Multiple factors can lead to constricted foreskin in adolescents or adults:
- Congenital tightness persisting from childhood
- Chronic inflammation (balanitis or balanoposthitis)
- Forceful retraction causing microtears and scarring
- Repeated infections or poor hygiene
- Skin conditions like lichen sclerosus
- Uncontrolled diabetes increasing risk of infections
Understanding these causes is crucial to choosing the most suitable tight foreskin treatment.
Conditions Related to Phimosis
If left untreated, tight foreskin may contribute to:
- Paraphimosis – A retracted foreskin that becomes stuck behind the glans
- Chronic balanitis – Persistent inflammation
- Painful intercourse and sexual dysfunction
- Urinary retention or infection
- Increased risk of penile cancer (in rare, chronic cases)
Prompt medical attention prevents complications and supports better outcomes.
