Infants and children with paraphimosis may present with obstructive voiding symptoms and, when severe, acute urinary obstruction. |
|
Not long after learning I was the face of paraphimosis in Venezuela I got a voicemail from my friend Sam, who lives in Sydney. |
|
He denied having had a sexually transmitted disease, urinary tract infection, previous paraphimosis, instrumentation, piercings, or obstructive symptoms. |
|
There was no paraphimosis or phimosis noted. |
|
Paraphimosis must be distinguished from phimosis, a nonemergency condition in which the foreskin cannot be pulled back. |
