Common Causes
Causes of paraphimosis include:
- Direct trauma to the area
- Failure to return the foreskin to its normal location after urination or washing (most common in hospitals and nursing homes)
- Infection, which may be due to poor personal hygiene
- Uncircumcised males, and those who may not have been correctly or completely circumcised, are at risk.
