Patient's question:
Penis, phimosis, circumcision. The surgery was done at the children's hospital. On August 3rd, during the follow-up check-up, the doctor said it was inflamed and needed an injection and soaking. I feel like it's a bit purulent, covered with yellow stuff, forming scabs—it's terrifying.Doctor's answer:
Hello!A prolonged prepuce refers to a prepuce that covers the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis. In children with a prolonged prepuce, it is important to maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, frequently or daily cleaning the accumulated smegma under the prepuce. This can prevent the occurrence of glans penis inflammation. If the glans penis is frequently irritated by inflammation, the preputial orifice may narrow and adhere to the glans penis, forming acquired phimosis. A prolonged prepuce generally does not require surgical treatment, and surgical treatment is only necessary when a prolonged prepuce is combined with phimosis.
