What may cause acute paraphimosis?
Any activity or procedure that causes the foreskin to be pulled back can cause paraphimosis. The foreskin may be pulled back when cleaning the glans, or during sexual intercourse or masturbation. Caregivers may pull the foreskin back when they examine the penis or to put in a urinary catheter (tube). There may be times when you or your caregivers might not pull the foreskin back over the glans right away.
