Patient's question:
My foreskin has been stuck for a long time, but because it's a sensitive area, I'm a bit hesitant to go to the hospital. Also, I feel a bit embarrassed about it. However, recently I've noticed that I can't seem to clean my private area properly, and I'm very afraid of getting sick. So, I want to get it treated. Could it be that my penis is smaller and might be hidden penis?Doctor's answer:
This is due to the child being overweight, not hidden testicles. Additionally, it's important to check for any abnormalities in the testicles, as long as both sides have them.Recommendation: Exclude cryptorchidism, as there should be no issues. In obese infants and young children, the penis may appear short due to the fat. Moreover, if the child has phimosis, it doesn't need to be addressed immediately. It can be managed after sexual maturity.
Cryptorchidism tends to fluctuate, so long-term medication may be required. For male patients, it's crucial to seek professional and reputable medical care. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results.
Additionally, avoid sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
