Patient's question:
I am a 38-year-old man and I know that I have discomfort in my body, so I haven't seen a doctor yet. Please ask: What are the symptoms of phimosis in children?Doctor's answer:
That's right, this condition is quite common and there's no need to worry too much. In cases of phimosis in children, the foreskin generally appears long (without retraction), but during its natural progression, it usually starts to retract gradually around the age of ten. If it's phimosis, however, due to a tight foreskin opening, it cannot retract. If you confirm it's phimosis, it's best to take him to the hospital for consultation and early treatment. Otherwise, it may lead to and affect the normal development of the penis. Phimosis is a common condition in young boys and can result in poor hygiene of the penis.
