Patient's question:
The foreskin of the penis is a bit red, I bought medicine to apply, and now it's a bit red again, and there are always white dirty things. Does the child need surgery because the foreskin is too long?Doctor's answer:
General pediatric phimosis, the most suitable age for surgery is usually around 7 years old. It is generally better to perform circumcision during spring or autumn when the temperature is moderate and there is no need to worry about infection. If phimosis in children is not surgically treated, it can easily interfere with the normal growth and development of the reproductive organs and may lead to balanitis. Proper hygiene should be maintained, and if the child is older, circumcision can be performed. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly.
