Patient's question:
Patient is male, 2 years and 9 months old. His health condition was previously good. The current illness is as follows:It was found that the baby has excessive prepuce. The surgeon was consulted and said that the earlier the surgery, the better.
However, how will the baby cry and fuss after the surgery since he is so young?
Doctor's answer:
If a child has the issue of phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted, it may affect the development of the penis in the future, and it is recommended to have surgery at an early stage. However, if the foreskin is merely too long and can be retracted easily, there is no need to rush for surgery. Remember to retract the foreskin and clean the smegma for the child during each bath. Surgery can then be performed during puberty.
