My foreskin is swollen after a frenuloplasty. Is it paraphimosis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a frenuloplasty yesterday and the doctor told me that I had to put back my foreskin 24 hours after the operation, but it is impossible for me to do it. My foreskin is big and swollen and the stitches seem to hold it retracted. Is this normal? Or is it paraphimosis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Is your foreskin swollen after the operation or was it swollen before? Was your foreskin tight before surgery or easily retractable? Can you upload a picture of it? Generally, after frenuloplasty, there might be a bit of swelling around the frenulum area. And if it paraphimosis, then there will be swelling circumferentially and swelling will keep on increasing or stay static.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I could normally retract my foreskin while normal, but could not retract in erection. I am attaching a picture.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This is paraphimosis, please show it to your doctor as soon as possible. It needs to be reduced.
