title: Diseases of the foreskin, penis, and urethra.
abstract: Diseases of the foreskin, penis, and urethra are uncommon conditions that constitute a small percentage of emergency department visits. However, it is important that the emergency physician recognize and treat these conditions and understand which conditions require urologic consultation. Rapid and proper treatment in the emergency department can alleviate patient discomfort, increase patient satisfaction, and prevent future morbidity.
