Does the foreskin of a six-year-old child need surgery? What harm does foreskin friend have?

There is a lack of sufficient understanding of the harm of excessive prepuce and phimosis. According to the investigation on the reproductive health of male children in kindergartens, about 70% of children have different degrees of reproductive diseases, including phimosis (5%) and foreskin (565,438+0.5%), in addition to foreskin stenosis, dermatitis, cryptorchidism and other diseases. What is even more worrying is that 55% parents don't know about children's reproductive health care knowledge in the parent questionnaire survey conducted at the same time. You can also check it on the foreskin health network. Generally speaking, patients should consider foreskin surgery without general anesthesia after puberty. However, if the child has repeated inflammation or even urinary tract infection because the foreskin is too long, it is necessary to have surgery and circumcision as soon as possible. Whether the newborn baby boy should undergo the operation of redundant prepuce is controversial, so it should be carefully considered and should not be decided hastily. It is necessary to decide whether it is suitable for operation according to the doctor's diagnosis.
