Common Conditions of Genitalia
Phimosis and Aids Virus
This refers to a condition in males in which the prepucial opening (formed by the foreskin covering the terminal part of the penis the glans penis) of the male organ is narrow. Though it can result from chronic or acute infection of the inner lining of the prepuce, more commonly it is congenital.
The aids virus depresses immunity, increasing the risk of commonand rare infections and rare cancers. It may be transmitted hetero sexually or by infected blood products but use of condoms reduces the risk.
