Patient's question:
I would like to ask for some consultation. The child is 6.5 years old and has phimosis. Is surgery required? How long does this surgery take? Does it require hospitalization? How many days will it take to recover? And how much will it cost approximately? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
The foreskin cannot be retracted to reveal the glans, a condition known as phimosis, which requires early circumcision. When the foreskin covers the urethral meatus even in a relaxed state, it is referred to as phimosis. Frequent itching, inflammation, and premature ejaculation are better addressed with circumcision. For phimosis, it is recommended to undergo traditional circumcision surgery at a formal hospital's urology department. This method is fast, convenient, safe, and highly effective. The total cost is approximately 1000, with about 12 days to fully recover, 2 weeks to take baths, and 1 month before sexual activity can resume.
