Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in an adult penis: case report and review of literature.

CASE REPORT A 37-year-old man presented to the urology outpatient’s clinic with a 10-year history of postcoital pain. He had no history of trauma, foreign body, or allergy. He has been circumcised 32 years before. Clinical examination revealed a constrictive ring scar at the distal penis (Figure 1). There was neither any change in the skin color or texture nor in sensation distal to the scar. He had minimal granulation tissue on the ventral aspect of the scar (Figure 2). There was a palpable dense trolytes, and serum creatinine levels were normal. Findings on urinalysis were negative. He reported that in his childhood and during 3 years his mother used to put a hair around the distal part of his penis to increase his future sexual function. This hair had caused infection; thus, it was removed long time ago. Corresponding Author:
