Penis33

• In male human anatomy, the foreskin, also known as the prepuce (/ˈpriːpjuːs/), is the double-layered fold of skin, mucosal and muscular tissue at the distal end of the human penis that covers the glans and the urinary meatus. (wikipedia.org)
• The outside of the foreskin is a continuation of the shaft skin of the penis and is covered by a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. (wikipedia.org)
• The inner foreskin is attached to the glans by the frenulum, a highly vascularized tissue of the penis. (wikipedia.org)
• The World Health Organization states that "the frenulum forms the interface between the outer and inner foreskin layers, and when the penis is not erect, it tightens to narrow the foreskin opening. (wikipedia.org)
• This is because the frenulum - the small, elastic-like band at the base of the head that connects the foreskin to the shaft of the penis naturally pulls your foreskin down to cover the head of your penis. (myadultcircumcision.org)
• If you have a tight foreskin, called phimosis, then fully retracting the foreskin may result in a condition called paraphimosis, where the foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis and cannot be pulled forward into its natural position again. (myadultcircumcision.org)
• You should pull back just far enough to see the meatus (the hole where urine comes from, this is typically at the tip of the penis). (youngmenshealthsite.org)
• We also recommend gently retracting your foreskin when you shower, and cleaning your penis with mild soap and warm water. (youngmenshealthsite.org)
