Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is over one year old. I noticed that his foreskin and glans are, and I don't know what this is about? What kind of medicine should I take for this situation? What should I pay attention to in my daily diet?Doctor's answer:
Actually, the recurrence of this condition is related to phimosis in children. Phimosis is a congenital condition. The adhesion of the prepuce is often due to the adhesion between the inner preputial skin and the corona glandis and glans penis. This adhesion can lead to recurrent episodes of balanitis, causing significant inflammatory exudation. After a child is born, normal metabolism and excretion begin, but phimosis or excessive prepuce can affect urination, especially in children with phimosis who also have preputial adhesion. During urination, the prepuce may swell like a balloon, and after urination, some urine often remains in the preputial cavity. Additionally, the accumulation of lipids and epithelial desquamations gradually forms cheesy smegma, which serves as an excellent medium for bacterial growth.
