Overview
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis, while paraphimosis occurs when a retracted foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans, causing swelling and pain.
Both conditions can lead to urinary problems, infections, and discomfort during sexual activity. Timely diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent complications and restore normal function.
Causes and Risk Factors
Phimosis may be congenital or develop due to poor hygiene, infections, or scarring. Paraphimosis often occurs after improper handling of the foreskin during medical procedures or infections that cause swelling.
Symptoms and Clinical Signs
Symptoms include pain, swelling, difficulty urinating, recurrent infections, and discomfort during sexual activity. In paraphimosis, the glans may become engorged and painful.
Treatment Options
- Conservative management:: Topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises for mild phimosis.
- Surgical treatment:: Circumcision or preputioplasty to correct severe phimosis or paraphimosis.
- Prompt reduction techniques in emergency paraphimosis to prevent tissue damage.
