Patient's question:
Age 5: Condition Description: There is a small polyp (referred to as a "stone") below the penis. When the child urinates, it slightly deviates.History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered. Desired Help: Do children under 4 years old have phimosis? What is this condition, and how is it treated?
Doctor's answer:
It is possible. Phimosis is related to congenital development. It is recommended that you clean it more often and check it carefully. If it doesn't improve, surgery should be considered. Otherwise, it may cause infection or affect development. Phimosis is when the foreskin opening is narrow or stuck to the glans due to inflammation or injury, preventing it from retracting to reveal the glans. Phimosis is divided into congenital and acquired types. Congenital phimosis is further classified into atrophic and hypertrophic types. Acquired phimosis is caused by adhesions and narrowing of the foreskin opening due to inflammation, trauma, etc. With the growth and erection of the penis, the foreskin can retract naturally to reveal the glans in congenital phimosis. If it is confirmed, surgery is most suitable before school age. Wishing your child eternal health.
