I've been dealing with paraphimosis for over a year now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm not sure what steps to take. Could you guide me on what to do next? I'm really worried and would appreciate some quick advice.

Paraphimosis is a medical emergency that requires prompt attention; please immediately visit the nearest hospital or urology clinic, as delaying treatment can lead to serious complications, such as permanent damage to the penis, gangrene, or even amputation; a urologist may perform a manual reduction, circumcision, or preputioplasty to treat the condition.
