Patient's question:
The child is 8 years old. The foreskin of the rooster cannot be turned outward. He often says the foreskin sticks together, which is very uncomfortable.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: The child wants to know if surgery is necessary.
Doctor's answer:
Generally, most children under the age of 6 or 7 have adhesion between the foreskin and the glans. It's usually not a concern, and separation is rarely accompanied by infection. If infection occurs again, it is recommended to revisit the urology department of the hospital. If you want to completely resolve the issue, a doctor can separate the foreskin and glans (through manual manipulation, not surgery), after which it can be retracted for cleaning, and it will no longer grow back. Circumcision surgery should not be performed on children too early; it is not too late to wait until after puberty when growth and development are mature, or even before or after marriage.
