What to do if your 3-year-old baby has phimosis

If parents find that their children have symptoms of phimosis, they should take their children to the hospital for treatment in time. Currently, the main method of clinical treatment of phimosis is circumcision surgery.

The treatment purpose is achieved by removing the excessive foreskin. Phimosis, also known as redundant foreskin, is a common male disease. If a child has phimosis, it will have a certain impact on the child's health. It will often cause the child to urinate uncleanly and urine will remain in the child's foreskin. Over time, smegma will appear. The smegma will breed bacteria and eventually induce balanitis or penile inflammation, which will cause symptoms of painful urination in the child.

In addition to various inflammations, it may also cause stones in the child's foreskin cavity and may also cause symptoms of hypoplastic sexual organs in the child, which is very detrimental to the child's growth. Therefore, when phimosis is discovered, it should be treated actively and promptly. In addition to active treatment, daily care is also very important, especially the cleanliness of the foreskin. If the foreskin is kept clean, the occurrence of foreskin inflammation can be reduced.

Although phimosis is very common, its impact on children cannot be ignored. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the condition of their children's foreskin when bathing them daily. If the child's foreskin is too long, they should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. At the same time, when bathing, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the child's foreskin to ensure that the foreskin is clean, which can also effectively prevent the occurrence of foreskin diseases.
