What symptoms can phimosis cause in addition to inflammation?
When many parents take their children to the doctor, they mention that when their child urinates, a small blister will first appear on the penis. This is because the foreskin orifice is narrow and cannot be discharged directly through the urethral orifice. It is first discharged into the sac between the foreskin and the penis head, and then discharged. This can lead to problems with thin urinary lines and poor urination.
"If a child's foreskin appears to have more induration (scaling) from the outside, this indicates that it may cause infection, and parents should pay attention.". When bathing a child, pay attention to observing the color of the child's foreskin. If it is often red and swollen, there may be an infection, and you should go to the hospital to see a doctor.
What are the principles for the treatment of physiological phimosis?
There is a need for good communication with parents, as well as differences in cultural backgrounds and values. For example, the proportion of physiological phimosis surgery in Western countries is much higher than in China. In short, pathological phimosis must be operated on, and physiological phimosis requires communication between parents and doctors before deciding.
After the age of 17, there is still too long foreskin. Do you need special treatment?
This depends on the length of the foreskin. Generally speaking, as long as it is hygienic, there is no need for special treatment. However, in adulthood, if the foreskin is particularly long and there is a narrow ring pushed back, you still need to go to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
