• #1 Phimosis, Adult Circumcision, and Buried Penis: Practice Essentials, Background, Relevant Anatomy

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/442617-overview

  Phimosis is defined as the inability of the prepuce (foreskin) to be retracted behind the glans penis in uncircumcised males. Depending on the situation, this condition may be considered either physiologic or pathologic. Physiologic, or congenital, phimosis is a normal condition of the newborn male. In 90% of cases, natural separation allows the foreskin to retract by age 3 years. However, phimosis persisting into late adolescence or early adulthood need not be considered abnormal. […] The entity of pathologic, or true, phimosis is far less common and can affect children or adults. This is associated with cicatricial scarring of the prepuce that is often white in appearance. Phimosis may occur after circumcision if redundant inner prepuce slides back over the glans, with subsequent cicatricial scarring and contraction. Adult phimosis (ie, pathologic or true phimosis) may be caused by poor hygiene or an underlying medical condition (eg, diabetes mellitus).

• #1 Phimosis (Foreskin Problems) – The Urology Foundation

  https://www.theurologyfoundation.org/urology-health/male-reproductive-organs-conditions/phimosis-foreskin-problems/

  When males are first born, their foreskin is tight. Over time it gradually loosens until it can be easily pulled back over the penis head (glans). Phimosis occurs when the foreskin remains unusually tight and cannot be drawn back. Some men can have phimosis throughout their life and are still able to have intercourse, although most would probably find it more comfortable without this condition. […] If you have difficulty pulling your foreskin back, or have observed that this is a problem in your son, you should consult your GP. Your GP will carry out a physical examination and discuss treatment options.

  Pathological phimosis treated with surgery should have any surgically excised skin sent for histology to confirm the diagnosis and exclude any evidence of malignancy. […] Treatment of physiological phimosis is not indicated, and reassurance and an explanation of the natural history of the healthy non-retractile foreskin should be given to concerned parents. […] Circumcision is the preferred treatment for pathological phimosis and represents the only absolute indication for this procedure in children. […] Alternatives to circumcision are not suitable to treat phimosis due to BXO but are designed to achieve a fully retractile foreskin. […] An alternative surgical approach to circumcision is the preputioplasty; this approach allows preservation of the foreskin. […] The management of phimosis is an interprofessional.

  Phimosis is defined as the inability to retract the skin (foreskin or prepuce) covering the head (glans) of the penis. […] Current incidence of phimosis is about 1% in 7th grade boys. […] Pathologic phimosis that does not resolve naturally or causes other complications, including; penile irritation or bleeding, ballooning of the foreskin with urination resulting in forceful/difficult urination, urinary retention, painful urination (dysuria), painful erections, recurrent infections of the foreskin (balanoposthitis), paraphimosis (foreskin stuck in the retracted position behind the head of the penis), or urinary tract infections may require further treatment. […] Your medical provider will refer your child to a pediatric urologist for further evaluation. […] Treatments for phimosis vary depending on the child and severity of phimosis. […] Medical providers may recommend topical steriod ointment application for children with phimosis. […] This is an effective treatment in most males. […] Circumcision is often not required for treatment of phimosis.

  Phimosis diagnosis begins with a routine physical examination. Your doctor may ask questions about your family and medical history, sexual activity, symptoms, and any injury to your penis. Your doctor will also likely examine your penis for signs of a tightened foreskin and related phimosis symptoms. […] Additional phimosis tests for phimosis might include: […] Urine tests to check for urinary tract infections. […] Swab tests to check the foreskin for bacteria. […] Blood and/or urine test to measure the blood sugar levels in your body. Phimosis is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.

• #1 Phimosis: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

  A healthcare provider can diagnose phimosis by reviewing your symptoms and performing a physical exam. […] They may also order tests to determine if you have an infection. Tests may include: pee test (urinalysis), urethral discharge culture. […] The first treatment healthcare providers usually try for pathologic phimosis typically includes a topical corticosteroid cream or gel. […] You may need phimosis surgery if a corticosteroid cream doesn’t work. This typically involves a circumcision. During a circumcision, they remove the foreskin to completely expose the glans. […] Healthcare providers recommend circumcision for adults if: lichen sclerosus causes phimosis, the phimosis is severe, a corticosteroid cream doesn’t work, sexual intercourse, including masturbation, is painful. […] With proper phimosis treatment, the outlook is good. Corticosteroid creams with gentle stretching or surgery can treat most cases.

  Uncomplicated pathologic phimosis is usually amenable to conservative medical treatment. Failure of medical treatment warrants surgical intervention, usually in the traditional form of a circumcision or preputioplasty. […] The main medical indication for circumcision in children is pathologic phimosis. […] Adult circumcision for phimosis is described in textbooks dating from the early 19th century. […] In a prospective long-term study, 40% of boys treated for phimosis were found to have balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO), which has been linked to the development of penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

[…] Occasions arise in which urethral instrumentation in the form of a cystoscopy or Foley catheterization is necessary. This may be quite problematic in an adult affected by severe phimosis. In such instances, an emergency bedside dorsal slit can be performed safely and expeditiously. After being discharged, the patient may proceed to undergo formal circumcision.

• #1 Phimosis: Severe Symptoms and Foreskin Removal

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/phimosis-8628019

  Phimosis is diagnosed with a physical exam of the penis. This can be done by your general practitioner or your child’s pediatrician, but complicated cases may require the care of a specialist of the male reproductive tract, known as a urologist. […] As part of the exam, the urologist will grade the severity of phimosis based on how much or how little the foreskin retracts. The grade helps determine the appropriate course of treatment. […] Phimosis is generally described as looking like a tight ring or „rubber band” of skin around the tip of the penis. […] The most commonly used system (called the Kikiros scale) categorizes phimosis into the following five grades: Grade 0: A fully retractable foreskin (no phimosis) […] Grade 4: Not retractable. […] The treatment of phimosis varies based on a person’s age and the severity of their symptoms.

• #1 Frenulum Breve (Short Frenulum): Diagnosis & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23361-frenulum-breve-short-frenulum

  Frenulum breve is a penile disorder. Also known as short frenulum, its when the skin fold that connects the head of the penis (glans) to the underside of the foreskin is too short. The purpose of the frenulum is to allow the foreskin to draw back over the glans. If the frenulum is too short, it pulls on the foreskin and causes pain or discomfort. […] Healthcare providers sometimes misdiagnose frenulum breve as phimosis because they both share common symptoms. Both are penis health problems. Phimosis is when the foreskin is too tight to pull back, but it does not involve a short frenulum. […] Your healthcare provider can diagnose short frenulum through a physical examination. […] Removing the frenulum depends on the severity of your condition and your healthcare providers recommendation. There are treatment options that dont require frenulum removal.
