QUESTION

Paraphimosis means?

OPTIONS

(A) Prevention of normal protrusion of the penis
(B) Lack of penile erection
(C) A disease caused by paramphistomes
(D) Inability of the penis to be retracted back to prepuce after protrusion.

ANSWER

(D) Inability of the penis to be retracted back to prepuce after protrusion.

EXPLANATION

Paraphimosis is inability to retract the protruded penis into the prepuce. Inability to protrude it is phimosis, and lack of erection describes erectile dysfunction. A disease caused by paramphistomes is paramphistomosis, a parasitic condition unrelated to penile retraction. The definition involving failure of return to the preputial cavity is therefore the precise match.
