What does it feel like to have a glans incarceration?

Penis incarceration refers to the inability of the foreskin to return to its original position automatically. When the penis is erect, the foreskin will stretch. After ejaculation, the foreskin will automatically retract and cannot return to its original position. The patient will feel that the glans is being strangled, which affects the blood circulation of the glans and causes pain and swelling of the glans, seriously affecting the health of the penis. Therefore, men with glans incarceration can feel it directly and need to use recovery techniques to recover.

1How to determine whether you have glans incarceration

The most typical feature of glans incarceration is that the foreskin cannot return to its original position, which will affect the blood supply of the glans. The glans will change color, and the fingers will be strangled by a rubber band, with congestion and swelling. In severe cases, it can lead to glans necrosis.

2 Is it okay if the glans penis is incarcerated and does it hurt?

Incarceration of the glans penis will give a feeling of being strangled. If it does not hurt and the foreskin can return to its original state to cover the glans penis, it is not incarceration and should be normal, but there should be symptoms of foreskin being too long.

3Symptoms of Penis Incarceration

The symptoms of glans incarceration are severe pain in the glans penis and difficulty urinating. There is local narrowing of the foreskin ring and swelling of the distal foreskin and glans penis. After the foreskin edema occurs, the narrow ring of the foreskin opening becomes tighter and tighter. If not treated in time, the distal penis may become necrotic and fall off.

4 Treatment methods for glans impaction

1. After the occurrence of glans incarceration, the main symptoms are severe pain in the penis, redness and swelling of the glans, and edema of the foreskin. The longer the incarceration lasts, the more severe the swelling will be. It is best to go to a regular hospital for treatment immediately. You can also take recovery measures in time to relieve the pain.

2. After the occurrence of glans incarceration, you can first use one hand to tightly grasp the edematous part of the foreskin of the glans penis coronal sulcus to make the edema gradually subside, then pinch the glans penis with your fingers and pull it outward at the same time, then pull the foreskin ring of the coronal sulcus backwards to flatten the folded part of the foreskin, and then forcefully push the narrow part of the foreskin toward the glans penis, and the glans penis will retract into the foreskin.

3. If the treatment of foreskin incarceration is not effective, you should see a doctor immediately. After self-recovery, you should also take anti-inflammatory treatment immediately, apply anti-inflammatory and swelling ointment locally or take oral anti-inflammatory drugs. It is best to go to the hospital for circumcision surgery to prevent the recurrence of glans incarceration.

Prognosis

If you have foreskin incarceration, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. If the diagnosis and treatment are correct and timely, there will be no serious consequences. If the foreskin incarceration lasts too long, it will cause necrosis of the glans penis, which will affect urination and sexual function.
