Paraphimosis Emergency Treatment in Thane – Immediate Relief & Safe Surgical Care by Dr. Ankur Bhanushali
Paraphimosis is a urological emergency where the foreskin gets stuck behind the head of the penis and cannot be pushed forward. This causes swelling, severe pain, and restricted blood flow. Immediate treatment is crucial, as delays can lead to serious complications.
At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic in Thane, we offer quick, painless, and expert management of paraphimosis, including manual reduction and surgical correction when required.
🔍 What Is Paraphimosis?
Paraphimosis happens when:
- The foreskin retracts behind the glans
- It becomes trapped
- Swelling increases
- Blood flow gets compromised
It requires urgent medical attention to avoid tissue damage.
It is NOT the same as phimosis.
Phimosis = foreskin too tight
Paraphimosis = foreskin stuck behind the glans
⚠️ Symptoms That Require Immediate Treatment
If you notice these signs, seek emergency care:
- Severe pain in the penis
- Swelling of the foreskin and glans
- Tight band-like ring behind the glans
- Difficulty urinating
- Dark discoloration of the glans
- Inability to pull foreskin forward
These symptoms mean the foreskin is blocking blood flow.
🩺 Causes of Paraphimosis
Paraphimosis commonly occurs due to:
- Improper cleaning of the penis
- Forceful retraction of a tight foreskin
- Not returning foreskin after catheterization
- Sexual intercourse or masturbation injury
- Infections causing swelling
- Trauma
Children, adults, and elderly individuals can all experience paraphimosis.
🔬 Diagnosis at Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic
No special testing is needed. The condition is diagnosed clinically.
However, if infection or injury is present, we may advise:
- Urine tests
- Blood tests
- Swab tests for infections
Diagnosis is quick to ensure immediate treatment.
⚕️ Treatment Options for Paraphimosis in Thane
1. Manual Reduction (Immediate Relief)
A simple procedure done under local anesthesia.
Steps include:
- Cleaning the area
- Applying ice packs or compression to reduce swelling
- Gentle manual reduction
- Restoring foreskin position
This gives instant relief in many cases.
2. Dorsal Slit Procedure
If swelling is severe or manual reduction fails, a dorsal slit is performed.
This releases the tight band and reduces pressure quickly.
3. Circumcision (Permanent Solution)
Recommended if:
- Paraphimosis occurs repeatedly
- Foreskin is chronically tight
- Patient wants a permanent cure
Circumcision is done as a short, safe, daycare procedure.
