My son is 5 years old and has phimosis where the glans cannot be fully exposed. What should I do

Patient's question:

My son is 5 years old. He usually has a bubble on the head of his penis when he urinates, and the head of his penis cannot be flipped back. Does he need surgery? The best age for treatment is how old?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you can't clean it yourself, you can go to surgery at the hospital. It's a minor surgery and doesn't require a hospital stay. His age is suitable for it. In the future, be careful to wash the child thoroughly, opening the foreskin and cleaning it well.
