Prevention & Expectations
What can be done to prevent the condition?
Good skin care of the uncircumcised penis will prevent paraphimosis. This means that after the foreskin has been retracted, it should be deliberately replaced over the glans penis.
What are the long-term effects of the condition?
If paraphimosis is not treated, the glans penis can be seriously damaged. Damage to the penis generally can be avoided if treatment is prompt.
