The baby was born with excessive foreskin, and urinating will make it swell larger than an adult's thumb.

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Female
Patient Age: 39
The baby was born with excessive foreskin, making urination appear thicker than an adult's thumb. Now, at four and a half months old, it's almost impossible to see the urinary meatus at the tip of the penis. At night, urination sometimes causes crying.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is best to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is phimosis. Phimosis is similar to excessive prepuce in appearance, but more severe. The main symptom is that the glans cannot be exposed by pulling the prepuce with the hand. As the child grows older, it will affect urination and can easily lead to urinary tract infections or even penile cancer. It is recommended to have the child examined at the hospital, and if phimosis is diagnosed, surgical treatment can be considered based on the situation.
