Question
If a child’s penis head is tightly covered by the foreskin, it can greatly limit the development of the penis. If not treated in time during puberty, the penis may be smaller in adulthood. Additionally, cleaning can be difficult, and infections are more likely to occur. Therefore, when a child has a long foreskin, is surgery necessary, and which department should be visited?
Answer
Children with a long foreskin typically require surgical treatment. They can seek examination from pediatric surgery or urology. After the doctor examines them, they can diagnose whether it is indeed a long foreskin and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.
