Patient's question:
My son used to frequently have redness in his genital area, and we thought it was due to "internal heat." Now, the child often says it hurts, and after going to the hospital for a check-up, they said the child has phimosis. The family is very worried, fearing it will affect the child's future life.What kind of help do you want: What happens if phimosis is not treated in a timely manner?
Doctor's answer:
A 12-year-old child with phimosis requires timely surgical treatment. Otherwise, it may not only affect the growth and development of external genital organs, cause local inflammation, but also potentially impact sexual quality after marriage. It is recommended to consult the urology department of a regular hospital for follow-up. Circumcision is currently the best treatment for phimosis and excessive prepuce. This type of surgery is a minor procedure in urology and there is no need to worry excessively.
