Question
What should be done if a newborn has a short prepuce and the glans is exposed?
Answer
It is common for newborns to have a short prepuce that exposes the glans. Currently, it is recommended to observe and wait, as this condition may naturally improve as the child grows. During this observation period, parents should pay attention to their child’s personal hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. If necessary, parents can take their child to the hospital for a check-up, but it is usually not recommended to undergo surgical treatment at a young age. Most cases will resolve on their own as the child grows, with no impact on future development.
