Patient's question:
Does a child with pure phimosis or paraphimosis need surgery? Is fasting required before a preoperative urine test? How long does it take to fully recover after surgery? Is hospitalization required?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, phimosis in children that requires surgical treatment can be performed through outpatient surgery, usually around the time for dinner. Preoperatively, a thorough blood test and infectious disease screening are required. Generally, it takes about a month for complete recovery, and non-hospitalized phimosis can be stabilized. However, the treatment period is usually longer, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
