Phimosis is a strangulation of the foreskin orifice that prevents it from retracting above the tip of the penis. This situation is normal in the newborn child, but over time the skin that adheres to the tip of the penis may retract as the foreskin becomes loose. Phimosis can also occur if the retraction of the foreskin is forced prematurely. This could lead to the formation of a fibrous scar that may prevent retraction of the foreskin later on.

Paraphimosis is the consequence of the foreskin´s retraction behind the corona of the penis which cannot return to its initial position. This situation can be serious since compression of the penis occurs, which prevents the blood drainage.
