Patient's question:
My child had phimosis from birth, and the urine stream always went to the side.Doctor's answer:
It is still recommended to have the surgery as early as possible, otherwise it may increase the risk of gynecological inflammation and penile cancer. Generally speaking, if a boy's foreskin opening remains very small after the age of 5-6, and the glans cannot be exposed by gently retracting the foreskin during examination, it is often true phimosis, and surgical treatment is advisable. Wishing you good health.Children under the age of 10 are generally not recommended for surgery, as their penis has not yet developed normally. Only after puberty, if the foreskin remains too long or there is phimosis, surgical treatment is necessary. However, if phimosis occurs before puberty but affects urination and has already caused adhesion, surgery can still be performed. However, it is generally not advisable to have the surgery before puberty if the foreskin is too long.
