Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is a preliminary consideration of possible phimosis. Physiological phimosis in children is common within the age of 3, and it usually resolves as they grow older. Severe phimosis may cover the urethral meatus, making urination difficult and causing cystic expansion during urination. Recommendations: 1. Identify and address developmental abnormalities, and adopt treatment measures for phimosis, such as cystic expansion surgery. 2. Pay attention to moving the foreskin during urination, as this will stabilize over time.
