{{Construction Site}}[[Phimosis]] is a word that comes came into English from Greek. It is the name given to the condition of having a [[foreskin]] that does not retract. A foreskin will not retract when the tip of it is too narrow to [[Gliding action| glide]] back over the [[glans penis]] so that the glans penis is exposed. Phimosis is classified as a condition, not a disease. It does not threaten health, so treatment of it is elective.

Phimosis is not an uncommon condition. Men with phimosis frequently ask, "Can I have '''sex with phimosis?"''' There is wide normal variation in penile anatomy, but the answer usually is ''yes, if certain steps are followed.''
