Patient's question:
What are the disadvantages of phimosis in children? Do I need to take him to the hospital for circumcision, or will it resolve on its own as he grows older? Will circumcision at a young age have any impact on the child's health? At what age is it most suitable for a child to undergo circumcision?Doctor's answer:
If it reappears, it is easier to get inflammation again. If it reappears, it will cause pain, swelling, and more discharge. At this time, you can go to the hospital for initial treatment of the inflammation. After the inflammation subsides, you can decide on surgical treatment. The best time to have surgery for a 12-year-old child is now. After surgery, there will be pain and swelling at the wound. You need to take medication under the guidance of a local doctor. The condition of phimosis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment.
