Patient's question:
A child had hernia surgery over a year and two months ago. During this period, when they urinate, there is a lump in the middle of their penis. Is it possible that the prepuce is too long?Doctor's answer:
For your situation, it is mostly caused by infection, especially if hygiene conditions are not well-maintained, or it could be due to friction. This condition requires proper attention and treatment. You can apply erythromycin ointment, which is quite effective and has no side effects. At the same time, it is important to change underwear frequently and avoid friction.Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should take their children to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
