Question
A 6-year-old child was diagnosed with a long foreskin during a physical examination at a provincial children’s hospital. In recent days, the child has felt discomfort in the lower body, frequently pulling at their penis, saying that their underwear has been stuck inside.
Answer
Long foreskin refers to the foreskin covering the urethral opening, which cannot be flipped back to expose the urethral opening and glans. Long foreskin can lead to premature ejaculation. Considering foreskin circumcision can reduce the incidence of penile cancer. Children have weaker body resistance and are prone to pediatric urological problems. Parents should not rush and should take their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and also pay attention to regular checks and symptomatic medication under the guidance of a doctor.
