Patient's question:
Sometimes it's difficult to urinate and uncomfortable. At the age of three, it might be due to poor hygiene. About the past treatment and effectiveness: No thorough examination was conducted. Sometimes metronidazole was used to help clean him. What kind of help is desired: What are the characteristics of phimosis in children? What are the harms? When should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to the condition where the foreskin covers the glans when the penis is flaccid. Due to the inability to promptly and thoroughly clean the secretions of the inner foreskin in phimosis and paraphimosis, bacteria can grow and adapt here, leading to an accumulation of foreskin secretions, smegma, and odor. In severe cases, it can cause local inflammation, known as balanoposthitis. Therefore, from a modern medical perspective, circumcision is generally considered better than leaving the foreskin intact. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital with the necessary conditions to undergo a circumcision procedure. This can now be done. Best wishes!
