treatment of paraphimosis focuses on reducing the swelling of the glans and foreskin. applying ice may help reduce swelling as may applying pressure to the glans to force out blood and fluid. if these measures fail to reduce swelling and allow the foreskin to return to its normal position an injection of medication to help drain the penis may be necessary. in severe cases a surgeon may make small cuts in the foreskin to release it. circumcision also may be used as a treatment for paraphimosis.
