Patient's question:
6-year-old boy's physical examination diagnosis at Provincial Children's Hospital: Phimosis.Recently, he has been feeling discomfort in his lower body and often tugs at his penis, saying his underwear gets stuck inside.
Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin covers the urethral meatus and cannot be retracted, failing to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis. Phimosis can lead to premature ejaculation. Circumcision can be considered, which may reduce the incidence of penile cancer. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to urinary tract infections. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Regular check-ups for the child should be conducted, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
