Foreskin (preputial) adhesion on the penis of a 76 year old male patient. This occurs when the inner layer of the foreskin becomes adhered to the head of the penis. It can can occur due to poor hygiene, infections, inflammation or trauma to the penis. The condition is common in uncircumcised males, particularly in children. Preputial adhesions can cause pain, discomfort and difficulty retracting the foreskin. Treatment includes gentle manual retraction, topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and in more severe cases, surgical intervention. | |
