Patient's question:
My son is now three years old. Recently, I noticed that he has phimosis, and I'm worried it might affect his development. What should I do about it? Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis is a relatively common surgical procedure in general surgery and also a common disease in children. This condition requires surgical treatment. It will not affect development at the moment.It is recommended to temporarily focus on local care and avoid infection. When the child is older, around the time of preschool, it is advisable to have the surgical treatment performed.
