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]].)
