Phimosis is defined as tight foreskin that cannot be retracted to expose the glans penis. It is normal or physiological in young children but in elders it is pathological, caused due to infection, inflammation that leads to scarring and diabetes mellitus. To prevent it one should clean the smegma on glans penis by retracting the foreskin and cleaning the glans with a non irritant soap and then wash it with water. Never forget to retract the foreskin back to glans.
