Patient's question:
The child has slightly long foreskin, he is 14 years old now, can he have surgery? Is it minimally invasive? How many days will it take to recover? Will it affect the child's school attendance?Doctor's answer:
When weak, the entire glans cannot be exposed if it is too long. When the foreskin is retracted, there is a sense of pain, which indicates a slightly tight foreskin, also known as mild phimosis. The child has not fully developed yet, so it is not necessarily phimosis.The surgery for the foreskin is primarily to treat phimosis. It is not for treating sexual dysfunction, nor is it necessary for all cases of phimosis. Moreover, there are certain complications and sequelae after foreskin surgery. Phimosis does not always require surgery.
