Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin becomes stuck. The foreskin has been tucked too far behind the end of the penis. With paraphimosis, the following will occur, including, fluid builds up, the penis swells, and the foreskin is unable to go back to its original position. Paraphimosis is painful and the only way to get relief is by going to a medical professional. It is important to seek medical treatment right away. If you fail to get medical treatment, it can affect how the blood flows to the tip of the penis. It\u2019s rare for the tip of the penis to get lost or damaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paraphimosis can be cured manually, but if not, minor surgery is needed. Personal hygiene can prevent paraphimosis. Men tend to have a bad habit of not cleaning their penis the correct way. The penis needs to be cleaned thoroughly with warm water and soap as often as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are eight frequent symptoms of paraphimosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The inability to urinate is a frequent symptom of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It will be painful to urinate. You may experience some burning as well. The swelling <\/a>and pain are causing the inability to urinate. Ice the area for 10 to 15 minutes several times a day. Always put a clean cloth on the affected area before placing the ice. It can irritate the skin if you don\u2019t. Once the swelling goes away, you should start to urinate. Since you haven\u2019t urinated in a while, you may have cramps in your lower back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cramps will go away once you\u2019re able to urinate. If the icing doesn\u2019t work, you\u2019ll need to seek treatment at the doctor\u2019s office. Your doctor will try a number of things to help you to urinate. Your foreskin is stuck, so the doctor will try to put it back to its original position. It may be painful at first, but it could help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Unable to pull the foreskin over the tip of the penis is a symptom of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fluid will build-up, along with swelling. A medical professional is the only one who can pull the retracted foreskin back over the tip of the penis. It may be painful when the doctor is probing at your foreskin and penis. The doctor may numb the area so that you don\u2019t experience any pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the doctor can manually fix the problem in his or her office, but if it\u2019s too stuck, surgery <\/a>will be needed. Since it\u2019s a minor surgery, you may not have to stay in the hospital for a long time. During this time, you may not be able to urinate. You may have to wear a catheter, so that urine doesn\u2019t build up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After it\u2019s healed, you want to be careful about activities that you engage in, such as sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Discomfort and pain are symptoms of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is common for pain to occur. In order to get rid of the pain, a medical professional will have to examine you to see what he or she can do. The doctor may compress the foreskin with a saline <\/a>swab for 30 minutes. This may be uncomfortable at first, especially since any touch of the affected area can cause pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swelling and pain should begin to go away. If the procedure doesn\u2019t work, minor surgery will be needed. It\u2019s a good idea to seek treatment right away. If you believe that the pain and discomfort will go away, it won\u2019t. You have to get treatment at your doctor\u2019s office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a primary care doctor, visit the emergency room. They can complete the same procedure. They will also do imaging tests to get a thorough look at what is causing the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Blue and dark blue tissue are found at the end of the penis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This occurs when the blood flow to the penis is blocked. This is serious and a medical professional needs to handle the problem. When the penis tip turns color, you will want to stay away from having intercourse. It will make the condition worse. The area will be painful, so you don\u2019t want to engage in any activity while the tip of your penis is affected. If you do, your penis will become sore<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minor surgery may be needed to correct the problem. Icing the area may temporarily help, but only a doctor can help you to get rid of the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the problem heals, the blood should flow normally to the tip of the penis. The dark blue and black color will go away. The doctor will give you tips on how to prevent yourself from getting paraphimosis in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Redness is a frequent symptom of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Redness <\/a>occurs because the foreskin is irritated. A lot of the time, the skin can become itchy. When this happens, the foreskin will become redder. When the foreskin is red, it\u2019s best to leave it alone. It may be difficult to leave the affected area alone because you have to take a shower and clean it. If you don\u2019t clean the area, it can become more irritated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing you can do is to seek treatment at your doctor\u2019s office. The doctor may give you medicine to get rid of the redness. The only way the redness will go away quicker is by taking care of paraphimosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer you wait to seek treatment, the redder it will get. It will get more painful than it was before. Also, when you have redness, you may have little bumps in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. The tender feeling is a frequent symptom of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It will be difficult to touch the foreskin and tip of the penis. It will even be difficult to clean the affected area. When the doctor examines the area, you will experience pain. It is best to let the doctor handle it because if you try to do anything, such as icing it, it may not feel right. Even compressing the area with a saline swab will feel uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is best if the doctor numbs the area first before doing any procedures on the foreskin and end of the penis. Once the doctor completes the procedure, the tender feeling should go away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the tender feeling won\u2019t go away if the procedure doesn\u2019t work. The next step is to let a surgeon do minor surgery <\/a>to correct the foreskin and tip of the penis. This will also get rid of paraphimosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Penile pain is a frequent symptom of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Penile pain can cause pain during an erection and the inability to urinate. It can cause redness and soreness as well. Penile pain comes from getting a penile piercing. Piercers may need to pull the foreskin behind the tip of the penis. It may have to be in that position for a long period of time. The piercer may not practice good hygiene <\/a>when he or she does a piercing. This will cause paraphimosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to get relief, the doctor will need to take the piercing out carefully. Gloves will need to be on during this time because the doctor doesn\u2019t need to handle the foreskin and tip of the penis with his or her bare hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor has to be cautious when taking out a piercing, especially if it has just been done. It can become infected. The person doesn\u2019t need to take the penile piercing out as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Sores are frequent symptoms of paraphimosis. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the foreskin and tip of the penis have paraphimosis<\/a>, it will become red. The redness will more than likely have sores on it. The sores may have pus in them. If pus is in them, they shouldn\u2019t be popped. The area will become more infected. Plus, the man is more than likely going to use his dirty, bare hands when he pops them. When a sore is popped, the pain will occur. Leave the sores alone and let them heal by themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctor will know exactly how to treat the sores without infecting them. The doctor may compress the area with a saline swab and if so, some of the sores may pop. The doctor will wipe the area clean to prevent infection. The sores will start going away once the affected area is treated. It is a good idea to not have sexual intercourse while the paraphimosis is healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
