A penile ring entrapment: a rare case report and review of management options
Eroticism, erectile dysfunctions, and underlying untreated psychiatric disorders are the most common reasons for penile ring insertion. Delayed ring removal due to embarrassment, psychiatric disorder, and multiple self-trials of ring removal at home can result in the development of complications. Prompt ring removal requires standard gadgets, a multidisciplinary approach, and local management protocols.
