Patient's question:
My child is 3 and a half years old. He has phimosis, and every time he urinates, the foreskin swells into a lump. Over time, it also gets inflamed.Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is considered to be phimosis in children. It may lead to complications such as balanitis and requires surgical treatment. Phimosis in children is generally manageable with observation, but if there are complications such as genital infection, surgical treatment is necessary.Advice: Since the child is currently 3 years old and may not cooperate with the surgery, general anesthesia is generally required. Therefore, for your situation, it is necessary to consider antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent infection, as well as surgical treatment under general anesthesia.
