Patient's question:
My son has phimosis and his penis is inflamed. Besides the discharge, he cries in pain every time he urinates. Upon closer inspection, his penis is red and swollen, and the foreskin opening cannot be moved at all—the urethral opening is completely covered by the foreskin.What aspects should be noted for phimosis?
Doctor's answer:
It should be phimosis and infection transmission. In phimosis, secretions are difficult to discharge, making it easy to transmit infections. It is recommended to provide anti-inflammatory treatment at present. After the inflammation subsides, the situation will be assessed for circumcision surgery. Post-surgery, prevention of inflammation and infection should be given. Irregular cleaning, medication changes, and suture removal can be performed.Phimosis can be stable, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
