Manhood Pain: Phimosis or Paraphimosis?

Manhood Pain Phimosis or Paraphimosis?
By John Dugan

• While most matters revolving around the
  circumcised/intact debate dont have a huge
  impact on male organ health, a couple of manhood
  pain issues land squarely in the intact male camp
  mainly because they involve the prepuce itself.
  Many intact men have heard of phimosis and
  paraphimosis but many arent sure what each of
  them means and how they are different. And they
  are different, even if they both result in some
  manhood pain

Phimosis

• Phimosis refers to a situation in which the
  prepuce cannot be pulled back to reveal the head.
  It is a very common condition in boys, much less
  so in adult men. The situation usually resolves
  itself by age 7 in 90 of cases and by age 16 in
  99.
•  
• Unretracted prepuce in the soft manhood does
  not itself produce pain in the case of
  tumescence, however, there can be considerable
  discomfort. In addition, boys and men with
  phimosis are at a greater risk of balanitis, an
  inflammation of the head. As a matter of fact,
  often balanitis is the cause of phimosis in adult
  men or in boys who had previously successfully
  retracted their prepuce.

Paraphimosis

• So what about paraphimosis? This condition is
  actually the opposite of phimosis. In
  paraphimosis, a man (or boy) has retracted his
  prepuce back past the head but it becomes stuck
  there and cant get released to expand back over
  the head.
•  
• Paraphimosis is much less common than
  phimosis and is considered by most doctors to
  be a medical emergency if it lasts for an
  extended period of time (such as several hours).
  Why? Because paraphimosis usually means that the
  prepuce is tighter than it should be otherwise,
  it would fall back over the head. (Although
  sometimes the issue is not that the prepuce is
  too tight but that the head is too swollen,
  usually due to balanitis.) If the prepuce is too
  tight and trapped behind the head, it may
  severely constrict blood flow in the manhood.

• Unlike with phimosis, manhood pain is almost
  always associated with paraphimosis. The pain may
  increase if the tightness near the head results
  in swelling. In some cases, the lack of blood
  flow can create an extremely serious condition in
  which gangrene can develop, which may necessitate
  amputation of affected parts. This is why a man
  must consult a doctor if paraphimosis occurs for
  more than a couple of hours.

Management

• In adults, phimosis is generally related to
  balanitis or another cause of an inflamed head.
  If this is not the case and the skin is simply
  too tight, there may be loosening exercises a
  man can employ to try to stretch out the prepuce.
  However, he should consult with a doctor before
  attempting these.
•  
• Paraphimosis often resolves itself within a
  couple of hours, with no prolonged swelling.
  However, when it persists, or if swelling
  appears, it is best to call the doctor. If the
  skin changes color, it is imperative to seek help
  at once, even if there is an absence of swelling.
  The manhood pain associated with paraphimosis may
  require local anesthesia in some cases.

• Manhood pain can result from many causes
  other than phimosis or paraphimosis. Often, minor
  pain and soreness can be eased by regular
  application of a top notch male organ health
  crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man
  Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for
  skin). Keeping the skin supple often eases pain,
  so select a crème with a combination of powerful
  moisturizing ingredients, such as vitamin E and
  natural Shea butter. Its even better if the
  crème also contains vitamin C, as that vitamin
  helps boost the elasticity of member skin.
