Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to have a circumcision at the hospital. The most common complications of phimosis in children are as follows:First, urinary tract infections, which can develop into pyelonephritis if severe;
Second, balanitis, where the child may feel itchy or painful, and it must be treated promptly.
If a child has phimosis or excessive prepuce, it is naturally prone to inflammation and can also affect the growth and development of the penis. It is recommended to have a circumcision if there is phimosis or excessive prepuce, which can also prevent future inflammation.
First, daily hygiene should be paid attention to, especially the prepuce should be retracted for cleaning. Potassium permanganate sitz baths should be taken twice a day.
