Patient's question:
Hypospadias in children, but not phimosis, must it be surgically treated?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin in children can interfere with the development of the reproductive organs and may lead to smaller penis size later in life. Additionally, an overly long foreskin is prone to accumulating smegma, causing balanoposthitis. It is recommended to undergo a circumcision procedure at a regular hospital. With the advancement of technology today, there is no need to worry about it causing damage to the reproductive organs. The condition of excessive foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
