The vast majority of children are physiological phimosis, and there is almost no abnormal feeling. For every child with phimosis, most of them can heal themselves without surgery.
If physiological phimosis causes abnormal symptoms, it needs timely treatment. If necessary, the foreskin can be expanded:
1. Physiological phimosis is very common in young boys, but because the foreskin can't be turned up and the penis head can't be exposed, it will also bring some problems. For example, because the foreskin can't turn up, epithelial cells and sebaceous glands falling off the penis head and foreskin can't be discharged, and they stay between the foreskin and the penis head, forming scales. Some parents take their children to think that there is induration or even tumor on their penis. The existence of skin scales can cause secondary infection, redness, purulent secretion and other problems. When bathing children, parents should pay attention to the color of their foreskin. If there is redness, there may be infection. Diagnosis and treatment should be made as soon as possible, and the foreskin opening should be enlarged.
2. Due to the narrow prepuce, when the child urinates, urine cannot be directly discharged through the urethral orifice. First, a small bubble is bulged in the sac between the foreskin and the penis head, and then discharged. In order to avoid the glans penis being stimulated by urine for a long time, the foreskin mouth can be expanded as soon as possible.
When expanding the foreskin mouth, fully separate the adhesion between the foreskin and the glans penis until the glans penis can be fully exposed. Apply erythromycin ointment to the glans penis (anti-infection and anti-adhesion), and then wash the glans penis with warm water frequently (continue to apply erythromycin ointment to the glans penis after initial washing). Pay attention to turn the foreskin back after cleaning to prevent the foreskin from being incarcerated.
