    Paraphimosis is usually caused by medical professionals or parents who handle the foreskin improperly.[4] [6] The foreskin may be retracted during penile examination, penile cleaning, urethral catheterization, or cystoscopy; if the foreskin is left retracted for a long period, some of the foreskin tissue may become oedematous (swollen with fluid), which makes subsequent reduction of the ...

    After giving this advice Beaugé noted not once did he have to recommend circumcision. [33] [34] Phimosis in older boys and adult males can vary in severity, with some able to retract their foreskin partially (relative phimosis), while others are completely unable to retract their foreskin, even when the penis is in a flaccid state (full phimosis).

    Before (above) and after (below) frenuloplasty. Frenulum breve, short frenulum, or the Josh Kelleher phenomenon is a condition in which the frenulum of the penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the foreskin and helps contract it over the glans, is too short and thus restricts the movement of the foreskin.

  8. Meatal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatal_stenosis

    The protection provided by the foreskin for the glans penis and meatus has been recognized since 1915. In the absence of the foreskin the meatus is exposed to mechanical and chemical irritation from ammoniacal diaper (nappy) that produces blister formation and ulceration of the urethral opening, which eventually gives rise to meatal stenosis (a narrowing of the opening). [1]
