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 he be cared for? What should be noted?Doctor's answer:
A 7-year-old child has developed re-adhesion of the foreskin again. This is a common occurrence at our hospital, and it can be resolved through a circumcision procedure. This is a minor outpatient surgery that typically takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. After the surgery, it's important to change the dressing on schedule and maintain good hygiene to prevent infection. Avoid spicy and 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, everything will be fine.
