Patient's question:
What should I do if the glans and foreskin are adhered together? What methods can solve this problem? It has been causing me great distress for a long time, and I feel very uncomfortable. I am seeking a solution.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for children with mild phimosis, manual treatment can be used. For more severe cases, surgical methods such as balloon dilation or preputial separation are required. This method is simple, non-invasive, and causes minimal pain. However, after the surgery, it is still necessary to frequently retract the foreskin and clean it, or apply lubricants or blood-stimulating ointments to the preputial cavity to prevent re-adhesion.If parents notice that their child has phimosis, they should clean the dirt inside the foreskin during each bath or bedtime hygiene to keep the preputial cavity clean. For children with phimosis, it is necessary to intentionally retract the foreskin with the hand to expose the glans as much as possible.
