What is the term for the inability to retract the foreskin over the glans penis?

The term for the inability to retract the foreskin over the glans penis is known as phimosis. This condition can occur in males where the opening of the foreskin is too tight, preventing it from being pulled back to reveal the head of the penis.

Phimosis can be congenital, meaning present at birth, or it can develop later in life due to scarring, infections, or other causes. It can lead to complications such as discomfort during urination or sexual activity, and in some cases, may require medical intervention if it becomes problematic.

The other options pertain to different medical conditions not related to the foreskin's retraction. Priapism refers to a prolonged and often painful erection not associated with sexual desire. An ectopic ureter involves the abnormal positioning of a ureter and is not relevant to the foreskin. Epispadias is a congenital condition affecting the urethra where it is positioned abnormally on the dorsal side of the penis. Each of these terms describes different anatomical or pathological situations distinct from phimosis.
