Patient's question:
The baby's foreskin seems a bit of genital and it's always wet with white discharge. In this situation, it's necessary to do a hand. I want to know what adverse conditions can be caused by phimosis in children?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias and phimosis are common conditions among adolescent males. Below are the adverse effects of phimosis.1. Interferes with normal penile development and sexual life. Due to the tight covering of the glans by the foreskin, the penis may not receive adequate stimulation, leading to a noticeably smaller penis after sexual organs have matured.
2. The foreskin can harbor dirt and secretions, especially a foul-smelling white discharge called smegma. Long-term irritation of the penis, particularly the corona, can lead to balanitis and penile inflammation. Bacteria descending from the foreskin cavity may also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis, and prostatitis.
