Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for an on-site check-up. The child has phimosis (retractile foreskin). The doctor manually pulled it down at the time and said there wasn't a major issue, just a quick cleaning would be fine. But now the child keeps saying it hurts and cries every time he urinates. What should we do? It's slightly swollen in the front.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is mainly caused by infection. You should pay attention to do more external cleaning in daily life to avoid being too sensitive. It is recommended to apply erythromycin ointment or use potassium permanganate for cleaning in these days. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods. This will have no impact on the foreskin and can be relieved. However, the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
