Patient's question:
The child is 8 years old. The chicken's foreskin cannot be turned outward. He often says the foreskin is stuck together, which is very uncomfortable.History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: The child's parents want 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 followed by infection. If infection occurs again, it is recommended to return to the urology department of the hospital for follow-up. If you want to completely resolve the issue, the 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.
