Thank you.

Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin over the glans, and is usually due to a contracted preputial opening. Patients with phimosis may seek acute medical care when they develop signs and symptoms of infection, such as pain and swelling of the foreskin and a purulent discharge. Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin cannot be replaced in its normal position after it is retracted behind the glans. The tight ring of preputial skin which is caught behind the glans creates a venous tourniquet effect and leads to edematous swelling of the glans.

What to do:



* For paraphimosis, squeeze the glans firmly for at least ten minutes to reduce the edematous swelling. Wrap the shaft and swollen glans with a gauze pad followed by a two inch elastic bandage that will produce constant, gentle compression. After ten to fifteen minutes, remove it, then push the glans proximally and slide the prepuce back over the glans. If manual reduction fails, anesthetize the dorsal foreskin and carefully incise the constricting tissue.

* Treating phimosis usually involves the management of acute infection. Frequent hot compresses or soaks are needed along with antibiotics such as cefadroxil (Duricef) for a balinitis.

* In both paraphimosis and phimosis, followup care should be provided. When swelling and inflammation subside, circumcision should be performed.



Discussion

Poor hygene and chronic inflammation are the usual causes of stenosing fibrosis of the preputial opening. In the case of a neglected paraphymosis, arterial occlusion may supervene and gengrene of the glans develop. When phimosis results in acute urinary retention, the tip of a hemostat can be inserted into the scarred end of the foreskin and gently opened, allowing the patient to void satisfactorily until urologic cosultation can be obtained. One common cause of paraphymosis is retracting the foreskin to clean the glans and place a Foley catheter, but forgetting to reduce the foreskin afterwards.

yeah! it's your virgin head. When you have sex with your partner you will get pain feeling amd your foreskin will be move back of your penis. ( take a vaseline gel !!!!!! )

Dear Guest,

Can you pull your foreskin back manually to completely expose the glans (penis head) and can it be done painlessly and without a struggle?  You should be able to whether your penis is soft or when you are having an erection. The same applies when you pull your foreskin forward to cover your penis head again.

During an erection, the foreskin moves back on its own as the penis gets larger.  The amount the foreskin moves back depends on the man it belongs to.  For some men, the foreskin will move all the way back and completely expose the penis head.  For other men, it will only move partially back.  For other men, like myself, the foreskin hardly moves back at all and the penis head is still covered by the foreskin.  If  you can use your hand to  pull the foreskin all the way back to completely expose the glans, or forward to cover it again, without pain and without a struggle, you are fine.

I assume you're young and it's possible your foreskin has not yet completely separated from your glans (penis head). Pull your foreskin back as far as it can go without pain or a struggle so you can wash the exposed areas of your glans and foreskin.  As soon as you feel pain or experience a struggle, stop pulling your foreskin back.  Forcing things to happen will only make your situation worse.By about the mid-teens, the foreskin and glans should be completely separated and the foreskin should be able to be pulled back to completely expose the glans. 

It is not the amount of coverage that matters during an erection, it is the ease with which the foreskin can be moved back and forth over the penis head.

Also, it is possible the the opening of your foreskin is tight as opposed to the foreskin being fused to the penis head.  If that is the case, see your doctor about it.
