Patient's question:
My son is three years old. Since he was born, we noticed that there was something wrong with his genitalia. Other little boys have clearly distinct penises and testicles, but my son's penis and testicles are stuck together. The doctor said to wait until he's older to see if they can separate on their own. But by this year, we found that they are still stuck together. What should I do about my son's slightly attached foreskin and testicles?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you should go to the hospital for timely follow-up. Long-term adhesion can affect the growth and development of the penis, leading to poor development of reproductive organs in the future. It is necessary to undergo surgery as soon as possible to forcibly combine them. After the wound is completely healed, it is generally absolutely unlikely to leave any aftereffects, and it will absolutely not affect the growth and development of the penis. The child is in the stage of growth and development, so early surgery is very necessary. You can simply go to a regular hospital for follow-up and no longer hesitate.
