Patient's question:
What should be done about phimosis and preputial adhesion? What methods can solve this problem? It has been causing great distress for a long time, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I am seeking a solution.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for children with phimosis, mild cases can be treated with manual therapy, while more severe cases require surgical methods such as balloon dilation or preputial separation. This method is simple, non-invasive, and causes minimal pain, but postoperatively, it is still necessary to frequently retract and clean the prepuce or apply lubricants and blood-activating ointments to prevent re-adhesion.If parents notice that their child has phimosis, they should clean the dirt inside the prepuce during each bath or bedtime hygiene to keep the preputial cavity clean. For children with paraphimosis, it is necessary to intentionally retract the prepuce with the hand to expose the glans as much as possible.
