What is Phimosis?
According to wikipedia, Phimosis is a condition where, in men, the male foreskin cannot be fully retracted from the head of the penis.
The simple explaination is that the foreskin is tight and could not be pulled down below the head of the penis. If you have similar problem, you have a condition called 'Phimosis.
Causes and Risk of Tight Foreskin
Phimosis begins with an infection of the foreskin. If untreated, the infection spreads and the foreskin swells up. Eventually, the foreskin becomes so large that it cannot retract. It is swollen and tight, and cannot be moved back away from the glans.
Phimosis is the result of repeated foreskin infections such as balanitis. It is linked to neglected hygiene. Germs breed under the foreskin with its enclosed glans. The delicate tissues undergo a process of partial healing/partial flare-up/partial healing again. Scar tissue keeps building up and breaking down. Eventually, the scar tissue becomes fibrous - hard, tough and inelastic. It contracts the meatus, pulling the infected foreskin tightly inwards. At the same time, nearby healthy tissue strives to form new scabs and becomes infected. This adds to the spread of germs.
