Patient's question:
The front part of the baby's reproductive organ swells like bubbles when urinating, and it disappears after urination!The baby is nine months old, and it seems like it has always been this way.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your child's condition is a case of phimosis. In pediatric phimosis, the meatus of the prepuce and the urethral meatus are extremely narrow, making it difficult for urine to flow smoothly. The prepuce becomes filled with urine, forming a balloon-like shape. Accumulation of smegma within the preputial sac increases the risk of balanoposthitis. You can try retracting the prepuce for cleaning. If the meatus remains narrow after the age of 4-5, it is advisable to undergo circumcision at an early stage.
