Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old this year. After the postoperative adhesion of the prepuce, there is a purplish-blue discoloration in the sulcus of the glans. In May, he had an adhesion surgery of the prepuce in the hospital, and now it has grown again. Hello, how should the treatment be for pediatric preputial adhesion?Doctor's answer:
Children with phimosis adhesion primarily need to maintain good hygiene in the perineal area, frequently clean the perineum, and as much as possible, retract the foreskin during cleaning. It's appropriate to encourage children to drink more water. You can try gently separating the adhesive areas with your hands and then applying erythromycin ointment. If the adhesion is severe, surgical treatment may need to be considered. Otherwise, it can affect the development of the external genitalia and lead to recurrent urinary tract infections. For severe phimosis adhesion, it's recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as it may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only. We hope the answer above helps you. Thank you.
