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 (, "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. Conflicting incidence reports and widely varying post-neonatal circumcision rates reflect looseness in the diagnostic criteria 2,3. Phimosis has become a topic of contention in circumcision debates (see 14 and Medical analysis of circumcision).

Phimosis in most but not all infants is physiologic rather than pathologic, whereas phimosis in older children and adults is more often pathologic than physiologic. Some have suggested that physiologic infantile phimosis be referred to as developmental nonretractility of the foreskin to more clearly distinguish this normal stage of development from pathologic forms of phimosis 10. Different management is appropriate.

Note that women can suffer from clitoral phimosis. ^*
