What are the main symptoms of phimosis must be taken seriously. The answer to the main symptoms of phimosis you mentioned is as follows.Hello, the main symptoms include: the foreskin cannot be retracted, which is phimosis. Sometimes the foreskin opening is small, like a needlehole. In cases of a narrowed foreskin opening, urination is slow, and the foreskin may develop a spherical bulge. Both phimosis and excessive foreskin can cause the accumulation of smegma in the foreskin sac. Smegma appears as creamy, curd-like material and can be expelled through the small foreskin opening or accumulate at the corona glandis. foreskin, white small lumps can be seen, often mistaken by parents for tumors. The accumulated smegma can lead to secondary infection, causing balanitis. At this stage, purulent discharge may flow from the narrowed foreskin opening. Due to the irritation of the purulent discharge, the child often experiences redness, swelling, and discomfort in the foreskin, and sometimes acute urinary retention may occur.
