I think one of these issues is phimosis where the outlet of the foreskin is too tight for the foreskin to be retracted to the shaft of the penis. Although over 90% of the foreskin is fully retractable by the age of seven, some foreskin may still be non-retractable due to preputial adhesions or phimosis. Regular efforts to pull back the foreskin, with or without the help of steroid cream, can occasionally loosen the tight foreskin. However, overzealous efforts to pull back the foreskin should be discouraged, as men with phimosis may encounter the potential complication - paraphimosis - when the tight foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans. Men with phimosis living under the shadow of the foreskin, having been liberated by the simple circumcision often have regrets.
