	eMedicine - Paraphimosis : Article by Jeffrey M Donohoe
		Paraphimosis is an uncommon condition in which the foreskin, once pulled back behind the glans penis, cannot be brought down to its original position, thus constituting one of the few urologic emergencies encountered in general practice (see Image 1).
		Paraphimosis may occur when the foreskin has been pulled back behind the head of the penis for an extended period and is often caused by well-meaning health professionals secondary to penile examination or urethral instrumentation.
		Because paraphimosis is a condition that is almost always iatrogenically or inadvertently induced, simple education and clarification of proper prepuce care to parents, the individuals themselves, and health care professionals may be all that is required to prevent this problem.

	Paraphimosis
		Paraphimosis is the inability of an uncircumcized male to pull the retracted foreskin over the head of the penis.
		Paraphimosis is caused by inflammation and narrowing of the foreskin.
		If paraphimosis is left untreated, the blood flow to the glans is impaired; lack of blood flow to the glans may result in loss of the penis tip.

	eMedicine - Phimosis and Paraphimosis : Article by Santos Cantu, Jr, MD
		Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus.
		In children with congenital phimosis, the congenitally narrowed preputial opening is the usual cause of paraphimosis, especially after parents forcibly retract the foreskin while attempting to clean the glans or after catheterizations of the bladder are performed by medical personnel who retract the foreskin and fail to reduce it back over the glans.
		Paraphimosis reduction: After determining the absence of an encircling foreign body, one may proceed to emergent reduction of the paraphimosis.

	Health Guide: Paraphimosis
		Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans penis and is unable to return to its natural position inside the preputial cavity (sheath) leaving the glans exposed.
		Paraphimosis results when the foreskin (sheath) is either retracted behind the glans and becomes strictured, or becomes folded (rolled).
		Paraphimosis can be a result of phimosis (inability to retract the prepuce over the glans penis), injury (trauma), infection, or congenital issues such as an abnormally shortened prepuce or an abnormally long penis.

		Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin is retracted behind the corona (or crown) of the penis and cannot be returned to the unretracted position.
		If the child has ballooning of the foreskin during urination after the age of 10, a circumcision (surgical removal of all or part of the foreskin) may be recommended.
		Treatment for paraphimosis may involve lubricating the foreskin and tip of the penis and then gently squeezing the tip of the penis while pulling the foreskin forward.

		Paraphimosis (when the phimotic ring gets trapped behind the glans causing the glans to swell up) can be dangerous and is a medical emergency.
		"Treatment of paraphimosis is directed at relieving vascular obstruction by reducing the foreskin or releasing the offending tissue ring.
		Simple reduction of paraphimosis can usually be accomplished by firmly squeezing (compressing) the glans for 5 minutes to reduce the tissue edema and decrease the size of the glans.

		Paraphimosis is a swelling of the head of the penis and foreskin, most commonly seen in uncircumcised boys.
		If the paraphimosis has been present for a long time, or is severe, the foreskin may be too tight to return to the proper position.
		Failure to quickly treat a paraphimosis can lead to permanent damage to the tissues of the penis, causing decreased sensation, and, in the most extreme cases, permanent loss of part or all of the glans.

	Phimosis, Smegma and Paraphimosis
		This condition is known as paraphimosis, and must be corrected quickly to restore full circulation to the head of the penis.
		So it would follow that any boy suffering one bout of paraphimosis is very likely to suffer another, particularly after puberty when the penis expands fully during erection and it is likely to happen at a very embarrassing time when the boy is masturbating or making love.
		Paraphimosis is of course serious because the constriction must be reduced quickly otherwise the blood supply can be cut and permanent damage ensue.

		Although an examination of the urethral process was not noted, urethral obstruction is highly suspected as the cause of the dribbling (especially given the incidence of this occurrence in males due to anatomical conformation), with paraphimosis due to preputial swelling, and subsequential urine-induced inflammation of the penis tip.
		The paraphimosis has probably been present for some time, as the penis tip has had time to become reddened, inflamed, and necrotic.
		Paraphimosis may continue to be an ongoing problem, or may gradually subside as the preputial swelling resolves.

		Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin once retracted cannot return to its original location.
		Paraphimosis causes blood to pool in the veins behind the entrapment which induces swelling.
		Circumcision prevents phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin at an age when it should normally be retractable), paraphimosis (the painful inability to return the foreskin to its original location) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).

		Other causes of paraphimosis include mild phimosis, foreign objects around the penis, a constricting band of hair at the preputial orifice, or trauma.
		Paraphimosis is easily differentiated from priapism, congenitally shortened prepuce, congenital deformity of the os penis, or paralysis of the retractor penis muscles on the basis of physical examination and palpation.
		With paraphimosis due to other causes, or of longer duration, sedation or general anesthesia is required.
