Phimosis is a condition of the penis where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis. And in frenulum breve or short frenulum, is a condition in which the frenulum of the penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the foreskin and helps contract it over the glans, is too short and thus restricts the movement of the foreskin.
