Question
Is it normal for a child to have a long foreskin?
Answer
A long foreskin refers to the foreskin covering the urethral opening but can be retracted to reveal the urethral opening and glans. It often comes with phimosis. A long foreskin can lead to premature ejaculation. Consideration can be given to circumcision, which can reduce the incidence of penile cancer. For children, their immune systems are relatively weak, making them more susceptible to pediatric urological symptoms. Parents should take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and also pay attention to regular checks for their children and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
