Complications of a tight foreskin

Sometimes if the foreskin is very tight it can get stuck and cannot go back to its original position covering the end of the penis. The end of the penis can then become very swollen and painful.

This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency.

Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis.

A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.

Immediate action required: Call 999 or go to A&E if:

  • you or your child's foreskin is pulled back and cannot go back to its original position over the end of the penis
Information:

Do not drive to A&E. Ask someone to drive you or call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

Bring any medicines you take with you.
