What is the harm of phimosis in children? What harm can children's phimosis cause to their bodies

The harm of phimosis in children is very common in clinic, but because parents don't know much about the harm of phimosis in children, they will miss the best treatment opportunity. Therefore, today we will learn about the harm of phimosis in children.

Phimosis refers to the long foreskin, narrow foreskin mouth, the foreskin cannot be turned up, and the penis head cannot be exposed. The same is true for newborns, but by the age of 3 to 4, with the development of the child, most of the narrow prepuce mouth expands, and then the prepuce can be turned over by 90%.

Almost every boy has phimosis after birth. On the contrary, if it is not phimosis, he may have other diseases, such as hypospadias or hypospadias. If most children have physiological phimosis, they have almost no abnormal feeling. If you have abnormal feeling, it may be caused by physiological phimosis, and you need to see a doctor. From 3 - from the age of 4, the foreskin mouth begins to expand, and the hard skin can be exposed after the foreskin expansion. After puberty (after the age of 17), phimosis children are less than 1 year old. Overall, 900.% Physiological phimosis can heal itself at 3-5 years old.

Although the most typical prepuce balanitis caused by prepuce scales is very common in young boys, and most of them can heal themselves, but because the prepuce cannot be turned over and the penis cannot be exposed, it also brings some problems. For example, because the foreskin cannot be turned over, the epithelial cells and sebaceous gland secretions of the penis head and foreskin can not be discharged and remain between the foreskin and the penis head. Some parents take their children to see a doctor and mistakenly believe that the penis of the child has a knot, or even a tumor. In fact, this is the retention of foreskin scales, which will lead to secondary infection, redness, and purulent secretion.

In addition to phimosis, what symptoms can phimosis cause? When many parents take their children to the doctor, they mentioned that when the child urinates, the penis will first bulge a small bubble. This is because the foreskin orifice is narrow and cannot be discharged directly through the urethral orifice. First, it is discharged into the sac between the foreskin and the penis head, and then discharged. In this way, there will be problems of thin urine line and poor urination.

If the child's foreskin is more crusty (scaling) from the outside, it indicates that it may cause infection, and parents should pay attention to it. Then take a bath for the child and observe the color of the child's foreskin. If it is often red and swollen, it may be infected. You should go to the hospital to see a doctor. After the age of 17, the foreskin is too long. Do you need special treatment? This depends on the length of the foreskin. Generally speaking, as long as you pay attention to hygiene, you do not need special treatment. However, if the foreskin is particularly long in adulthood and there is a narrow ring behind it, you still need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
