Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. He has had phimosis for a while, which has affected his urination. I would like to ask the doctor how to treat phimosis in children. After the phimosis is cured, how should it be cared for? What precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
A seven-year-old child has experienced re-adhesion of the foreskin, which is a common occurrence at our hospital. This can be resolved through a circumcision procedure. It's a minor outpatient surgery that typically takes around ten minutes to complete. After the surgery, it's important to change the dressing on schedule and maintain good hygiene to prevent infection. Avoid spicy or irritating foods during recovery and consider increasing the child's intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. As long as the symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of alleviating the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
