Pathological phimosis is the condition of having a non-retractile foreskin caused by the abnormal, unhealthy, or morbid existence of disease.
Pathological phimosis in boys
Rickwood et al. (1980) reported that pathological phimosis in boys is almost always caused by balanitis xerotica obliterans. Phimosis is defined as "scarring of the tip of the prepuce."[1]
Pathological phimosis in adults
Adult-onset phimosis may also be caused by a yeast infection of the foreskin that makes it hard or impossible to retract the foreskin.[2]
