Paraphimosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin, once retracted behind the head of the penis, becomes trapped and cannot return to its position, which causes swelling at the tip of the penis.
Common symptoms: Swelling, pain, and difficulty returning the skin to its place are the typical signs.
When should you see a doctor? This is a situation that should be addressed promptly, since sustained swelling can compromise blood flow to the area.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the right specialist, and the dermatologist can take part in issues involving the skin of the foreskin. If this situation occurs, the safest thing is to seek professional care without delay.
