A member asked:

Had penile frenuloplasty 2 days ago. glans were left exposed and i was told to leave it retraced until it heals . however para phimosis can occur when left over the head. should i leave it retracted or pull it back up? it's a swollen ring right now?

You have a valid concern, and you should contact your surgeon right away or go to the ER. Perhaps a urologist could chime in here and set us both straight, but the advice you relay doesn't make a lot of sense. Just to be clear, para phimosis occurs when the foreskin is left retracted, and the solution is to pull the foreskin forward over the glans to prevent constriction and loss of blood flow.

If the swollen ring is not tight or painful follow your surgeons advice. If not call him and be examined. paraphimosis is a painful condition when the foreskin is pulled back and cannot be pulled forward causing the glans to swell. Hope you do well
