QUESTION

Paraphimosis refers to?

OPTIONS

(A) Inability to withdraw the penis into prepuce
(B) Inability to protrude the penis out of prepuce
(C) Deviation of penis
(D) Diphallus condition

ANSWER

(A) Inability to withdraw the penis into prepuce

EXPLANATION

Paraphimosis is failure of an exposed penis to return normally into the prepuce. Swelling or constriction may perpetuate the problem. Inability to protrude the penis is phimosis, penile deviation describes abnormal direction or bending, and diphallus means duplication of the penis. These conditions differ anatomically and functionally from the retraction failure defining paraphimosis.
