1. Urethral stricture.
2. Paraphimosis.
3. Urethritis.

Correct Answer: 4
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight to retract over the glans penis. Paraphimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be moved back over the glans penis once retracted. Urethritis is a condition in which the urethra is infected or inflamed. Signs of urethritis include redness and edema around the glans and foreskin, eversion of urethral mucosa, and drainage. A urethral stricture is suspected if the urinary meatus is pinpoint size.
