Paraphimosis is a urological condition in which the glans penis becomes constricted by a narrowed foreskin that has been retracted and cannot be returned to its normal position. Paraphimosis may cause pain at the site of constriction, redness and swelling of the foreskin forming a tight ring around the penis, and difficulty urinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paraphimosis may develop as a complication of phimosis, particularly when the narrowed foreskin is forcibly retracted and becomes trapped behind the glans. The resulting constriction can impair blood circulation to the glans penis and, if left untreated, may lead to tissue ischemia and necrosis. Paraphimosis is therefore considered a urological emergency requiring prompt medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Symptoms of Paraphimosis<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paraphimosis usually has characteristic clinical signs that make the condition relatively easy to recognize. Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Redness and swelling of the foreskin, which forms a tight, rounded ring or band behind the glans penis;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty urinating or inability to urinate;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acute pain, which in some cases may gradually increase in intensity;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bluish or dark discoloration of the affected part of the penis, indicating impaired blood circulation and insufficient oxygen supply to the tissues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
