Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, with significant swelling and severe itching of the foreskin. What should I do about phimosis in children? What is phimosis? What should I do about phimosis in children?Doctor's answer:
The foreskin and glans of the child are (adhered) together. Most of the time, this is due to excessive foreskin, leading to an increase in secretions, which in turn causes local infection and results in. This condition requires a visit to the urology department at the hospital, where the doctor will separate the between the foreskin and glans, and apply antibiotic ointment locally. This can prevent re-adhesion and infection. (circumcision) should be considered after the child is older. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used appropriately during treatment, and the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid (irritating) foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
