Phimosis is the term used to identify the condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted back over the glans. Paraphimosis is the opposite condition where the foreskin is retracted and cannot be pulled back over the glans. Prephimosis is not a term used in the text. The healthcare professional would document this patient's condition as phimosis.
