Question
When should a child experience discomfort during urination, and it may be due to poor hygiene at the age of 3. What are the characteristics of long foreskin in children? What are the hazards? When should treatment be administered?
Answer
Long foreskin in children refers to a situation where the foreskin covers the glans of the penis when it is flaccid. Long foreskin and phimosis can lead to the inability to timely clear secretions, causing bacterial growth and leading to genital inflammation. Therefore, medical advice is to undergo circumcision to avoid related health issues. It is recommended to visit a urology department with appropriate conditions for a circumcision procedure, which is now available. Wishing you good health!
