Phimosis FAQs Normal development
It develops when the foreskin can no longer be pulled forward over the tip of the penis. This causes the foreskin to become swollen and stuck, which may slow or stop the flow of blood to the tip of the penis. Paraphimosis most often occurs when a healthcare provider handles the foreskin improperly. They may not return the foreskin back to its normal position after a physical exam or medical procedure. Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin can no longer be pulled back from the tip of the penis.
