Patient's question:
Doctor: My grandson is 4 and a half years old. Due to his long foreskin, his glans cannot be exposed. He is still very young, and I am very worried that he might not be able to endure it. If surgery is necessary, what age would be most appropriate? Is it full anesthesia or local anesthesia? Could it affect his psychology? He is now very afraid of meeting doctors and has developed a fear or shadow. Is surgery really necessary?Doctor's answer:
The child has symptoms of phimosis. This situation is likely caused by phimosis. It is recommended to visit a regular public hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination to confirm the diagnosis. Pay attention to local hygiene, and frequent cleaning can be effective. If necessary, a circumcision surgery can be considered. Phimosis can be stable, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
