A case report reveals effective intervention for paraphimosis in a 29-year-old male, highlighting key preventive measures.
In uncircumcised males, paraphimosis is an acute urologic emergency characterized by painful swelling, vascular compromise, and, if left untreated, necrosis. This condition occurs when the foreskin retracts and is unable to restore to its normal anatomical position. We describe a 29-year- old man who self-retracted his foreskin and neglected his personal hygiene, resulting in paraphimosis. He underwent satisfactory treatment with dorsal slit circumcision and manual reduction. In order to prevent and manage this illness, this research highlights the significance of patient education, prompt intervention, and hygiene awareness.
