~Health & Lifestyle~ Paraphimosis~ Is this the reason why the ancient people started circumcision in males? Well read and make your own conclusions: This is 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 constricts behind the glans penis which cannot be drawn back causing pain and swelling of the penis with subsequent necrosis. Phimosis is narrowing of the opening of the foreskin, which cannot therefore be drawn back over the underlying glans penis. The glans penis is the acorn-shaped end of the penis. Management This is a urological emergency. Early and immediate care is needed to save the penis. Manual replacement of the foreskin can usually be achieved under a local or general anaesthesia but circumcision is required to prevent recurrence.
