A condition in which the foreskin around the penis is tight and may have to be removed by circumcision.
A condition in which a retracted foreskin is too tight and acts like a tourniquet on a penis, an extremely painful condition, especially during an erection. Its avoidance is one of the medical reasons traditionally advanced for circumcision, since it may need to be treated surgically.
Retraction and constriction of the foreskin behind the glans penis. This occurs in some patients with phimosis on erection of the penis: the tight foreskin cannot be drawn back over the glans and becomes painful and swollen. Manual replacement of the foreskin can usually be achieved under local or general anesthesia, but circumcision is required to prevent a recurrence.
The constriction of the penis behind the glans by an abnormally tight foreskin that has been retracted. The condition causes swelling and severe pain. Sometimes the foreskin can be returned by manual manipulation after an ice pack has been applied to the glans or a topical local anaesthetic applied. Sometimes an operation to cut the foreskin is required to release it.
Strangulation of the glans penis due to retraction of a narrowed or inflamed foreskin.
The condition where a retracted foreskin becomes trapped behind the coronal sulcus, which is a groove separating the shaft and head of the penis.
The penis’s head, or glans, is constricted by an overly tight foreskin that has been retracted, leading to swelling and discomfort. Paraphimosis frequently arises due to an unusually constrictive foreskin.
Often, the issue can be addressed by using an ice-pack to decrease swelling, followed by gently pressing the glans to reposition the foreskin. If this doesn’t work, an injection or a surgical procedure to snip the foreskin might be required. To prevent the problem from recurring, circumcision (the surgical removal of the foreskin) might be considered.
Tightening of the penis due to a foreskin that is pulled back and too narrow.
