With the growth of the baby's age, the foreskin mouth will gradually relax on its own, and the foreskin will naturally leave the penis head. Some people may see some adhesion between the foreskin and glans when the foreskin mouth can be opened at first, but most of them can be completely separated by puberty.
Physiological phimosis usually does not affect the development of penis, generally does not need to be treated in advance, and the foreskin is slightly longer, which also belongs to the range of illegibility. However, in daily life, we should pay attention to frequent opening and cleaning, keep local cleanliness and prevent balanitis.
However, if the foreskin is too long or phimosis leads to repeated urinary tract infections, or phimosis is obvious, a bag will bulge out in front when urinating, so it is recommended to operate as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the best age for surgery is 5-7 years old.
At present, there are three main methods of foreskin surgery. The most traditional circumcision requires doctors to sew a needle and a thread. This method is not recommended because of its long operation time, much bleeding during operation and large postoperative wound.
At present, the most commonly used method is circumcision, which is to replace the place where we need a needle and a thread in circumcision. This method has the advantages of short operation time, usually only about 5 minutes, less bleeding during operation and beautiful appearance after operation, and is the most popular operation method at present.
There is also a kind of circumcision with stapler, which replaces the collar with stapler, and the operation time is longer than that of ordinary collar, about 10 minute. The postoperative appearance is still beautiful and the recovery time is short, but it is more suitable for older children because of the need for dressing change during and after surgery.
