Patient's question:
The baby is only three years old, and according to the rules, he should not be able to have a circumcision. However, when we noticed that his foreskin was inflamed, we took him for the surgery. But in the past two days, we found that it has inflamed again. Is it because the surgery was not properly sterilized? How should we treat the recurring inflammation of the baby's foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Before the puberty growth and development of young boys, they are usually prone to phimosis (excessive prepuce). If hygiene is not paid attention to during daily life, improper cleaning can lead to the accumulation of smegma under the prepuce. Smegma can irritate the local area, causing recurrent balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).After undergoing a circumcision procedure, it is necessary to promptly disinfect and sterilize to prevent recurrent inflammation. You can use povidone-iodine to disinfect at home. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
