Patient's question:
What department should I go to for phimosis in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, because the glans penis is tightly covered by the foreskin, it greatly restricts the development of the penis. If this restriction is not relieved in time during puberty, the penis will be relatively small in adulthood. Moreover, it will be more difficult to clean, making it prone to inflammation. Therefore, if a child exhibits phimosis, surgery is required to resolve the issue. This can be done at the pediatric surgery department or the urology/gynecology department. As long as the doctor examines it, they can diagnose whether it is phimosis.
