The result of this condition is pain during erection of the penis, inability to maintain foreskin hygiene, penis odor, inability to have intercourse, problems during intercourse, an aesthetic defect that interferes with sex and partner life, repeated cracks in the skin of the penis after erection, and even the inability to urinate in advanced stages. Phimosis is also a risk factor for penile cancer. In children, a narrowed foreskin can also prevent normal penis development and urinary tract and kidney infections.
