Patient's question:
My son is one year old, but when he defecates, he doesn't scatter it as far as other children do. His foreskin is a bit long—could this be the reason? Does it affect anything?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias in children is a normal phenomenon. Generally, between the ages of 3-4, the epithelial adhesion gradually dissolves, allowing the foreskin to separate from the glans penis on its own. However, before puberty, the glans should gradually become exposed externally.Recommendations: If the foreskin opening is wide, it is easier to retract and may not require surgery. However, it is important to retract and clean the area regularly to maintain hygiene. Enhance nutrition, and if necessary, consult with a local reputable hospital for advice. With mutual cooperation, surgery can be performed at any time.
