Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin is pulled back behind the tip of the penis. When this happens, it becomes stuck. The foreskin and penis become swollen, the foreskin is unable to go back to its original position, and fluid builds up. When paraphimosis is present, medical treatment is the only course of action. It cannot be treated at home. It is a painful condition, so you\u2019ll want to get it treated immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If treatment is not sought immediately, it can cause the blood to be unable to get to the tip of the penis. It is rare that the penis tip becomes lost or damaged. Even though it is a minor condition, medical treatment still needs to be sought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the condition is severe, surgery is minor. In order to prevent paraphimosis, a man should practice good personal hygiene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are eight known causes of paraphimosis that you need to know about so that you\u2019ll know what to do if you ever get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Vigorous sexual activity can cause paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Men like to be creative in the bedroom and after a while, it can cause a problem with their penis. Every time they have sex it\u2019s vigorous. The more times they are rough in the bedroom, it will make the penis sore<\/a>. It\u2019ll cause the man to not be able to have sex for a period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for him to have sex, he\u2019ll have to go to the doctor to get his penis checked. The doctor will tell him how serious the problem is. During this time, the man won\u2019t be able to wear tight clothing. If he does, he will experience pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to prevent the problem from happening again, it\u2019s best for him to take his time. Sex can be good without going crazy. In fact, the man might be apprehensive to have sex again since he had paraphimosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Poor hygiene is another cause of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Men tend to not clean their penis off well after using the bathroom or sex. Men should always make a habit to wash their penis after using the toilet. They can use sensitive baby wipes if they are unable to use soap and water. It\u2019s best to use warm water and soap. Sometimes men can be in a hurry and not shower. For instance, a man can wake up late in the morning to go to work and not have time to shower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He may just wash his face and under his arms, but the other parts of his body get missed. People who work out need to shower afterward. The penis will get sweaty and can harbor bacteria <\/a>if it\u2019s not cleaned thoroughly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, some men don\u2019t even wash their hands after using the bathroom. Whenever they put their hands on their penis, they\u2019re just putting more bacteria on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Insect or spider bite can cause the penis to swell. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When an insect or spider bite, most people will scratch the area to get relief. The more you scratch the area, it will become red and inflamed. After a while pain will occur. Apply pressure to the penis for five to 30 minutes. Use a saline swab when you do this. Icing the penis will help with the swelling<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019ll be easier to pull the foreskin back into place with these treatments. It is best if a doctor completes these treatments on you. You can also let the penis get air. This can only be done if you\u2019re at home. On the other hand, you may want to stop wearing boxers or briefs until the swelling goes down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetics still need to take their regular medication because since they have paraphimosis, it could cause severe symptoms. Older men sometimes have poor hygiene, so they can get it quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
