The phenomenon of being circumcised by jinns or spirits has often been heard in our society. This incident occurs in several areas, when the child's genitals look like they have been circumcised even though they have never had it done, or an action that is medically called circumcision.
So what actually happened?
According to Dr. Anton Andrian, Sp.B, FINACS , Specialist Surgeon at Grha Kedoya Hospital, said that this phenomenon is a myth and this incident is called paraphimosis.
Paraphimosis is a disorder of the penis that results in the foreskin of the penis being pulled back and unable to return to its original position. This can occur in penises that have not had circumcision or what is usually called circumcision. This disorder can occur at any age, but is more common in children and the elderly.
There are several factors that cause paraphimosis, including injury around the genitals, infection, excessive pulling of the foreskin, having a tighter foreskin, piercing the penis or inserting a catheter.
When someone experiences symptoms of paraphimosis, do not delay getting medical treatment.
