Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower abdomen and was diagnosed with an illness after a hospital examination. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor what are the effective treatments commonly used for phimosis?Doctor's answer:
A 10-year-old boy underwent a circumcision procedure due to excessive prepuce and preputial adhesion. Currently, he is experiencing tightness of the prepuce. Based on your description, the condition is likely either phimosis or scar formation following the post-circumcision incision. It is recommended to frequently clean the glans and inner preputial skin with warm water, maintain local hygiene, and apply cold compresses to the affected area. Revisit a formal public hospital for follow-up. For patients with preputial conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
