Complications

If paraphimosis is left untreated, it can disrupt blood flow to the tip of the penis. In extreme (and rare) cases, this may lead to:

• Damage to the penis tip
• Gangrene
• Loss of the penis tip

Prognosis

The outcome is likely to be excellent if the condition is diagnosed and treated quickly.
