Phimosis is the inability to fully retract the foreskin (or prepuce) over the glans penis due to its narrow opening and is a non-emergency situation---------------paraphimosis is a urologic emergency, occurring in uncircumcised males, in which the foreskin becomes trapped behind the corona and forms a tight band of constricting tissue. -------------circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis or prepuce so in circumcised malestheree iss no option for phimosis or paraphimosiss as there in no foreskin on glans ------------------------
