Patient's question:

Patient Age: Liu DaDa
Condition Description: My child is already 11 years old and still has phimosis.
Previous Treatment History and Effect: No treatment has been administered.
Desired Help: Should surgery be performed now? Is it suitable for this season? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it seems the child has phimosis, which would require surgical treatment. Hello, I recommend taking the child to a regular hospital's urology department for diagnosis and subsequent surgery. Traditional surgery is sufficient, according to your description. The child is now eligible for a circumcision. Hello, it is generally advised that be performed between the ages of six and eight, and the procedure can be directly a circumcision. I suggest you go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible. If it is confirmed to be phimosis, it must be treated with surgery as soon as possible. This is not just about excessive foreskin. It may affect normal urination. It is necessary to handle the specific situation specifically and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, using povidone-iodine for disinfection. I hope my answer helps you.
