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 and what care should be taken after the phimosis is cured. What precautions should be noted?Doctor's answer:
A seven-year-old boy has experienced re-adhesion of the foreskin, which is a common occurrence at our hospital. This can be resolved through a circumcision procedure. It is a minor outpatient surgery that typically takes about ten to fifteen minutes to complete. After the surgery, it is 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 intake of fresh fruits and vegetables for the child. As long as the symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of alleviating the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
