Redundant prepuce, phimosis and paraphimosis - what does this mean

Redundant prepuce, phimosis and paraphimosis are common conditions of the male foreskin. redundant prepuce occurs when the foreskin is too long and covers the glans penis, causing difficulty with urination and hygiene. phimosis occurs when the foreskin is too tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis, preventing proper hygiene and in some cases, leading to infection. paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin is retracted and cannot be returned to its normal position, trapping the glans penis and leading to swelling and pain.
