Patient's question:
Is a 12-year-old boy likely to have excessive foreskin? How should it be treated now? The child does not want to have surgery and wonders if it might improve as he gets older?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias is a congenital condition, and it will never resolve on its own now. Excessive foreskin carries many risks, such as the accumulation of smegma, phimosis edema, and interference with penile development. Now that you are aware of the risks, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. This is a minor procedure, so there is no need to be nervous. It will not interfere with fertility or sexual activity. Excessive foreskin can be resolved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer?
