Issues related to the penis foreskin are very common, and many patients who visited our Mirascare clinic in Gurugram earlier neglected them due to fear, sense of embarrassment or a lack of awareness. But after clear consultation and proper knowledge, they understand the issues and are able to address the issue at hand.
Phimosis and paraphimosis may look similar, but they actually differ significantly in severity and the urgency of their treatment. Dr Mir Asif Says
At Mirascare Clinics in Gurugram, Dr. Mir provides exceptional, patient-focused care for conditions related to the foreskin, prioritizing prompt diagnosis safe and secure treatment options.
Understanding Phimosis
Nature has provided the penis with a protective covering called the foreskin (prepuce). This foreskin covers and protects the glans penis (the head of the penis).
Ideally, in adult men, the foreskin should be easily retractable behind the glans—both in the flaccid and erect state. The most prominent ridge of the glans is known as the corona, and a healthy foreskin should retract a few millimeters beyond this point without pain or difficulty.
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted behind the glans penis.
Common Symptoms of Phimosis you can experience in such condition
- Difficulty retracting foreskin.
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Recurrent infections or redness.
- Discomfort during sexual activity.
Phimosis is treatable, especially when addressed early.
Treatment options may include medications, lifestyle guidance, or minor surgical procedures such as open surgery, laser circumcision, or advanced ZSR treatment at our general surgery center in Gurugram.
What Is Paraphimosis?
Dr. Mir explains paraphimosis as a surgical emergency that necessitates prompt care.
It happens when the foreskin is aggressively pulled back and becomes trapped behind the glans penis. This creates swelling and reduces blood supply to the penis head.
Why Paraphimosis is so Dangerous?
If not treated urgently or on time, paraphimosis can lead to:
- Severe swelling and pain
- Reduced blood supply to the penis
- Darkening or black discoloration of the glans
- Damage to the urinary passage (urethra)
- Permanent tissue damage in severe cases
Causes of Paraphimosis
Paraphimosis may occur due to:
- Aggressive retraction of the foreskin during sexual activity
- Insufficient care during masturbation
- Inadequate method for penile hygiene
- Surgical procedures in which the foreskin is not repositioned to its anatomical site

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is paraphimosis an emergency case?
Yes. Paraphimosis is a critical medical and surgical emergency. Without immediate care, there is a risk of obstructing blood flow to the head of penis, which can lead to significant complications, such as tissue damage.
Can phimosis be treated without surgery?
Actually YES, In cases of mild phimosis, treatment options typically include the use of medications, maintaining proper hygiene, and engaging in stretching exercises, all under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Dr. Mir Asif suggests that surgery should be considered solely when conservative treatment has proven ineffective and medical conditions require it.
Is laser circumcision safe for phimosis treatment?
Yes. Laser circumcision is a safe and effective treatment for phimosis. It involves minimal bleeding, less pain, faster recovery, and lower risk of infection when performed by an experienced surgeon.
How urgent is treatment for paraphimosis?
Treatment for paraphimosis should be done immediately. Delaying treatment can cause severe swelling, discoloration of the penis head, and permanent damage.
