Phimosis doesn't sound unfamiliar, it refers to abnormal development of the male foreskin. Phimosis poses great harm to male reproductive organs, and if it is found, timely treatment is necessary. In childhood, it is relatively difficult to judge phimosis in children. Some parents do not know how to judge it, so how to judge phimosis in children?
In childhood, most cases of phimosis are physiological, and gradually as children age, the growth rate of the penis will exceed that of the foreskin, causing the foreskin to slowly protrude and expose the glans. For this situation, no treatment is needed. If parents want to determine whether a child's phimosis is too long, they can observe it by urinating.
If parents find that their child's foreskin opening is very small, it has already affected the child's urination, and every time they urinate, a small lump will bulge out. This situation is called phimosis, and parents need to take their child for timely treatment. But if it does not affect the normal urination of children, this situation does not require treatment.
Before puberty, some boys may experience excessive phimosis, while others may gradually disappear as their bodies grow and develop in their teens. However, there are also some children who have not yet exposed their glans after puberty and still have phimosis, which is pathological and requires surgical treatment.
