== Cause ==
===Childhood===
Paraphimosis is a perfectly avoidable, [[iatrogenic]] condition. In infants and young children, this condition may occur as a result of doctors, parents or caretakers [[forced retraction|forcibly retracting]] the [[foreskin]] of a child's penis. It may also occur in older males as a result of [[Forced foreskin retraction| forcible retraction of a foreskin]] whose orifice has not yet dilated enough to allow the [[glans penis|glans]] through. (See [[phimosis]].) The first person to retract a boy's foreskin should be the boy himself.<ref name="wright1994">{{REFjournal

===Adulthood===Paraphimosis may also result when a tight or phimosed phimotic [[foreskin ]] is forcibly retracted. Paraphimosis may also result from sexual intercourse with a tight foreskin.
