Question
A one-year-old boy’s urination distance is shorter than that of other children. He has a longer foreskin, could this be one of the reasons? Is it affecting him?
Answer
Long foreskin in children is a common situation, usually separating naturally from the glans at around 3 to 4 years old. Before puberty, the glans should gradually become visible. If the foreskin opening is wide and can be easily retracted, surgery is generally not required. However, it still needs to be regularly pulled back and cleaned to maintain hygiene in the area. Nutritional support can be provided, and surgery can be performed if necessary. If there are any questions, please consult a local hospital.
