Patient's question:
[Condition Description: The child is six years old. The foreskin of the penis has always been unable to retract, and it becomes smaller when the child is nervous. How can this be improved? Should medical surgery be performed? Treatment history and effectiveness: At the age of three, the doctor was consulted and said it was not a big deal. What help is desired: Should medical surgery be performed at the hospital? How can it be improved?]Doctor's answer:
Nowadays, phimosis in children is a very common phenomenon. Parents need to pay attention during their child's growth period. If phimosis still exists before puberty, it may lead to the condition of a short penis. Typically, the glans penis can be exposed when the child is around four years old, and about 25% of children still have adhesions.After a child is born with phimosis, it is normal, and parents do not need to worry too much. If there are no other complications, surgical treatment is not necessary, and it generally disappears gradually by the age of three. If phimosis still exists when the child is four, parents should take them to a professional hospital for a comprehensive examination.
