What Can Cause Difficulty In Pulling The Penis Foreskin Back?
Hello. So, I took my son for his physical for kindergarten. He is five. He is uncircumsized. As the dr. was checking his penis area, she noticed that his skin would not pull back. Now she wants to refer us to a urologist. She said a word it was called and I want to look it up but I forgot the word. she is concerned and so am I. Is there anything you can tell me?
Thank you

Hello,
The word you are searching might be 'Phimosis'.
You can retract the foreskin regularly and clean with soap and water.
If you experience difficulties to retract the foreskin, it is better to go for circumcision.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
