Patient's question:
A boy has excessive foreskin, and he wets the bed every three to four minutes. He experiences frequent urination and cries when he can't urinate. An ultrasound and a urine test were performed, and both results were normal. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
This is phimosis, caused by excessive prepuce, which requires surgical treatment. My advice is to have a check-up at the surgical department of a hospital. If you are reluctant to have surgery now, it is still necessary to clean the urethral meatus. Of course, it is best to have the surgery now, because prolonged urine irritation can lead to balanitis. For patients with excessive prepuce, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
