Question

When a child urinates, the tip of the penis becomes bulgy, and the bulge disappears after urine is released. What treatment is recommended for this condition and does it affect growth and development?

Answer

Based on the description, your child may have a long foreskin. It is suggested to gently push the foreskin daily to enlarge the foreskin opening. Over time, the foreskin opening may become larger, and the bulging may decrease. If the problem persists, it is recommended to consider a circumcision procedure around age 10.
