What is paraphimosis?
A male genital condition known as paraphimosis requires immediate medical attention. Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin gets trapped behind the penis head and cannot retract.
Men who are partially circumcised or completely uncircumcised can develop this condition if left untreated in time. If left untreated, the condition can cause permanent damage to the tip of the penis.
What causes paraphimosis?
A severe condition, paraphimosis, can occur and is considered a medical emergency depending on the cause. In most cases, paraphimosis is caused by:
A doctor pulling back the foreskin for a physical examination.
Leaving the foreskin retracted for a long period of time after cleaning, urinating, or having sex.
The circumcision process
Diabetics
Infection etc.,
Diagnosis of paraphimosis
Diagnosing paraphimosis does not require elaborate testing. A doctor can diagnose the condition through a physical exam. In a physical exam, your penis will be examined. In addition, he will ask you questions about your symptoms or discomforts.
The patient must seek medical attention immediately if they suspect paraphimosis. If you experience any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Penis tenderness
Penis swelling and redness
Pain and discomfort that are excruciating
Pulling back the foreskin is impossible
Urination problems
Paraphimosis Treatment Procedure
Surgical Treatment
In complex cases of Paraphimosis, surgical intervention is often necessary. This may involve one of three methods: laser, stapler, or open circumcision. In addition to treating Paraphimosis, the surgeon may also recommend circumcision as a treatment for balanitis, phimosis (tight foreskin), balanoposthitis, and other foreskin infections. Circumcision surgery is the only option for treating Paraphimosis by removing the foreskin from the tip of the penis. This procedure not only alleviates symptoms, but also helps prevent future occurrences. There are three types of circumcision surgery available.
Laser circumcision surgery: This is a minimally-invasive method of circumcision, which takes only about 20 minutes. A high-beam laser is used to cut the foreskin and remove it, without stitches, causing minimal blood loss, and the patient can return the next day. It is also performed under anaesthesia.
Open circumcision surgery: The conventional method of circumcision involves seizing the patient with local or general anaesthesia. Once the patient is sedated, the surgeon measures the foreskin to be removed by retracting it from the grains and placing it back on the shaft. After removing the skin with a scalpel, it is cauterised or reattached to the shaft with dissolvable sutures.
Stapler circumcision surgery: The surgeon uses a surgical stapler to remove the skin and close its edges in this advanced and minimally invasive circumcision method. The procedure can be performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia and does not cause much pain to the patient. As a result, the patient does not have to worry about scarring or wounds afterward.
Post-operative care
After circumcision surgery, the surgeon will give you some tips on how to prevent complications and encourage recovery. Here are some guidelines on post-surgery care:
After surgery, you should avoid having sex for at least four weeks.
It is common for patients to experience some pain after surgery. Nevertheless, this shouldn't be a cause for concern. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication. Make sure you take all the medication as instructed.
When removing the bandage, do not shower, and be careful when cleaning the area around the incision. Be sure to pat dry the area carefully and avoid using soaps or gels.
As a precaution, wear loose-fitting clothes after the surgery. This will minimise the risk of pain and swelling in the operated area. Additionally, wear supportive underwear that will protect your penis.
After surgery, do not overexert yourself and avoid heavy activities for a few weeks. Your doctor will allow you to walk within a few days.
