Understanding Preputial Orifice Stenosis: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Stenosis of the preputial orifice is a condition in which the opening of the foreskin is narrowed. This can make it difficult or impossible to retract the foreskin, which can lead to a number of problems, including:

* Pain during intercourse

* Difficulty urinating

* Recurrent infections

* Phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted at all

Stenosis of the preputial orifice can be caused by a number of factors, including:

* Inflammation

* Scarring

* Trauma

* Birth defects

Treatment for stenosis of the preputial orifice typically involves surgery to widen the opening of the foreskin. In some cases, topical corticosteroids or other medications may be used to reduce inflammation and scarring.
