The foreskin and glans of the child are adhered together, mostly due to excessive foreskin, leading to the continuous accumulation of secretions, which in turn causes local infection and results in adhesion. This condition requires visiting the urology department at the hospital, where the doctor will separate the adhered foreskin and glans, and apply antibiotic ointment locally to prevent further adhesion and infection. can be considered when the child is older. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
