Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for an on-site check-up. The child has phimosis (retractile foreskin). The doctor manually pushed it down at the time and said there wasn't a major issue, just a simple cleaning would be fine. But now the child keeps saying it hurts and cries every time he urinates. What should we do? It's slightly swollen in the front.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is mainly caused by infection. Pay attention to frequent external cleaning to avoid excessive sensitivity. It is recommended to apply erythromycin ointment or use potassium permanganate for cleaning. Make sure to maintain good hygiene in these days and avoid spicy and irritating foods. This will have no impact on the foreskin and can be relieved. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
