Patient's question:
My foreskin seems a bit long. When it's soft, the skin is stretched out a lot, and when it's erect, the head can't be exposed. Also, when I shower, I feel the area of the glans has a strong odor. I'm worried that if this continues for a long time, I might get balanitis. Please ask: How is it better to treat phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The adhesion between the child's foreskin and glans is usually caused by excessive foreskin, leading to the continuous accumulation of secretions, which in turn causes local infection and results in adhesion. This condition requires a visit to the urology department at the hospital, where the doctor will separate the adhesion between the foreskin and glans, and apply antibiotic ointment locally to prevent re-adhesion and infection. can be considered when the child is older. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication, and a light diet are essential. Avoid foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
