The outer layer of skin on the head of a boy's penis is called the foreskin. "The foreskin engulfs the head of the penis, but it can still be turned up, which is known as excessive foreskin.". The foreskin has a small opening and cannot be turned up, which is called phimosis. Symptoms: Prolonged phimosis and foreskin can cause the secretion and dirt of the foreskin glands to remain in the foreskin for a long time, forming foreskin dirt, stimulating the foreskin, and causing foreskin inflammation. "The foreskin is congested and edematous, and the penis is red, swollen, and painful, resulting in difficulty urinating.". Care: Boys with long foreskins should be regularly cleaned to remove the scale from the foreskin. If you have foreskin inflammation and the infection subsides, you may undergo circumcision.
What are the symptoms of a baby with an excessively long foreskin
"Children with phimosis or redundant foreskin are naturally present. When a child begins normal metabolism and secretion after birth, phimosis or redundant foreskin can have a certain impact on urination, especially during phimosis, when a child urinates, the foreskin will bulge like a balloon. After urination, there is often a small amount of residual urine in the foreskin cavity, coupled with accumulated sebaceous secretion and epithelial desquamation, which will gradually form massive foreskin scale.", This is a good place for bacteria to reproduce and grow. Chronic irritation that exists for a long time can cause infection in the foreskin cavity, forming balanitis. Repeated attacks can cause adhesions in the foreskin cavity. Sometimes you can feel hard bumps under the foreskin. Due to the presence of foreskin scale and the adhesion of the foreskin to the glans, it often causes a swirling pattern of urination and impeded urination. Local redness, swelling, and excessive secretion may also occur.
"Pediatric phimosis should be treated as soon as possible. There are two commonly used methods. One is to expand the prepuce mouth by artificially expanding or inflating it to expand the surgical method after local anesthesia when there is no adhesion;"; The second is to adopt circumcision when there is adhesion, especially when the adhesion is severe. If there is adhesion, there will be uneven and uneven appearance of the glans after resection, as well as changes in the depth of pigment, affecting the appearance. Therefore, for children with phimosis, in order not to affect the normal development of the glans, circumcision can be performed as soon as possible. For patients with an excessively long foreskin, it is not necessary to rush for surgical treatment, as long as attention is paid to frequent upwardly turning and cleaning, but it is important to promptly reposition the foreskin after upwardly turning and cleaning to avoid the formation of foreskin incarceration. The foreskin surgery is not large, but careless operation can also have a negative impact on future sexual life, so it should be treated with caution.
Male infants with long phimosis should be treated with caution: Children with long phimosis or foreskin are naturally present. When a child begins normal metabolism and secretion after birth, phimosis or foreskin can have a certain impact on urination, especially during phimosis, when the child urinates, the foreskin will bulge like a balloon, and there is often a small amount of residual urine in the foreskin cavity after urination, coupled with accumulated sebaceous secretion and epithelial desquamation, Massive foreskin scale will gradually form, which is a good culture place for bacteria to reproduce and grow.
