Patient's question:
Hello, I have been feeling unwell recently and would like to consult about this condition. What should I do if I have phimosis?Doctor's answer:
For mild cases of phimosis where adhesion has already formed, manual treatment can be applied. For more severe cases, surgical methods such as balloon dilation or preputial separation surgery are required. This method is simple, bloodless, and causes minimal pain. However, after the surgery, it is still necessary to frequently retract and clean the foreskin or apply lubricating ointment to the preputial cavity to prevent re-adhesion.If parents notice that their child has phimosis, they should clean the dirt inside the foreskin during each bath or bedtime hygiene to keep the foreskin clean. For children with phimosis, it is important to intentionally retract the foreskin with their hands to expose the glans as much as possible.
