Patient's question:
I found that every time I get an erection, my glans cannot be exposed. Is this condition considered phimosis? I heard that phimosis can be quite harmful. Please ask: post-photorefractive keratectomy careDoctor's answer:
For children with phimosis, mild cases can be treated with manual therapy, while more severe cases may require surgical intervention such as balloon dilation or preputial separation. This method is simple, non-invasive, and causes minimal pain, but postoperatively, it is still necessary to frequently retract and clean the prepuce, or apply lubricating ointment to prevent recurrence of adhesion.If parents notice that their child has phimosis, they should clean the dirt inside the prepuce during each bath or before bedtime to maintain cleanliness. For children with phimosis, it is necessary to intentionally retract the prepuce by hand to expose the glans as much as possible. The prepuce can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor is essential during the treatment.
