Patient's question:
The child has excessive foreskin. When he was young, he went to the hospital and the doctor said to wait until he grows up to see if it can improve. I think it should be that the foreskin covers the glans and it's difficult to retract, in which case surgery might be necessary?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if it is completely and tightly wrapped around the glans, it indicates phimosis. In this case, it is recommended to undergo circumcision surgery for the best outcome. This can prevent the easy transmission of dirt and, or the glans becoming overly sensitive in the future, which may affect development. Since you are now of the appropriate age for surgery, the foreskin can heal well. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a higher risk of complications after the procedure. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medications appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
