Patient's question:
My son is about to start first grade. He is still quite young, but I've noticed that he has a bit of phimosis. They say phimosis requires surgery, and I'm quite worried. How is phimosis treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this situation requires surgical treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment promptly, as phimosis can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma, which can cause repeated urinary tract infections. It is important to pay attention to maintaining good hygiene in the area, wear loose, comfortable, and breathable underwear, and avoid tight pants. After the surgery, it is necessary to rest more and avoid strenuous exercise.
