Patient's question:
My son is 7 and a half years old. He has excessive foreskin. I always feel that his penis is not growing well. When is the best time for the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Children with phimosis should pay attention to maintaining local cleanliness and hygiene. Cleanse the dirt inside the foreskin daily to prevent inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis. If the glans penis is frequently irritated by inflammation, the foreskin orifice may narrow and adhere to the penis, forming acquired phimosis. This long-term chronic inflammation stimulation is also related to the formation of penile cancer. Therefore, in addition to daily cleaning, children with phimosis should also receive nursing guidance and treatment at a hospital. It is recommended to go to a regular urology hospital for examination and surgery.
