The state of foreskin can be divided into normal, too long foreskin, phimosis, incarcerated foreskin and concealed penis. There are many hazards of phimosis and long foreskin: it is easy to cause bacterial infection, inflammation and even ulcers.
Pain in the affected area will cause children to scratch, thus developing the habit of masturbation. But this does not mean that surgery is necessary, and some are normal conditions for growth and development.
Normal physiological phimosis will appear when a boy is born, that is, the foreskin completely covers the penis head and adheres. After a few months, the adhesion will gradually disappear and the foreskin will be separated from the penis head.
After the age of 3, the glans penis will naturally be partially or completely exposed, so parents can wait patiently. Although some children's foreskin is too long, but the foreskin is loose and easy to turn up, there is no narrow ring and adhesion, and no surgery is needed. Just pay attention to cleaning at ordinary times.
Extended data:
In the following three cases, you should seek medical advice in time:
1. After the boy enters adolescence, if the foreskin mouth is narrow, the glans penis and urethral orifice can't be exposed when upturned, and the erection is painful, which may affect the penis development;
2, phimosis is difficult to clean and hygienic, and balanitis prepuce frequently occurs.
3. When urinating, the urine is thin, although it can be discharged, but it needs force, which is easy to cause urinary tract infection and may also affect the kidneys.
