Phimosis (/fɪˈmoʊsɨs/ or /faɪˈmoʊsɨs/) from the Greek phimos (φῑμός [muzzle]) is a condition in males where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis. The term may also refer to clitoral phimosis in women whereby the clitoral hood cannot be retracted limiting exposure of the glans clitoridis.At birth the foreskin is fused to the glans and is not retractable.
