Patient's question:
The child has excessive foreskin. When he was young, he went to the hospital and the doctor said to wait until he grows up to see if it can improve. I think it should be that the foreskin covers the glans and it's difficult to retract, in which case surgery might be necessary?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if it is completely and tightly wrapped around the glans, it is considered phimosis. In this case, it is recommended to undergo circumcision surgery to avoid easily causing contamination with dirt or making the glans more sensitive in the future, which may affect development. At this age, the foreskin can heal after surgery, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and we hope male patients can recover quickly!
