Paraphimsosis

Paraphimosis is a urological emergency where the foreskin gets stuck behind the head of the penis and cannot be pulled forward. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent pain, swelling, and tissue damage.

Description

Paraphimosis is a urological emergency in which the foreskin becomes trapped behind the head of the penis and cannot be pulled forward. Immediate treatment is crucial to prevent tissue damage or loss of blood supply.

Paraphimosis often occurs due to improper handling of the foreskin, especially during catheterization, cleaning, or sexual activity. Swelling and pain can rapidly increase, making it difficult or impossible to reduce the foreskin without medical help. If left untreated, it may result in serious complications.
