Phimosis
Phimosis is a medical condition in which the
foreskin of the
penis of
an
uncircumcised
male cannot
be fully retracted. The word derives from the Greek phimos (φῑμός,
"muzzle"). The term is confusing because it is used to denote both a
physiologic stage of development (i.e. not a disease), and a pathologic
condition (i.e. a condition that causes problems for a person).
Elasticity and ambiguity of definition are especially common when
referring to infants.
