We know that some children may develop phimosis, which was previously treated with circumcision. With the development of medicine, balloon dilation can now be used as a substitute. But we know that everything has two sides, so what are the hazards of pediatric phimosis dilation surgery?
The hazards of pediatric phimosis dilation surgery include the following:
1. It has reproducibility. When children undergo circumcision and dilation surgery, due to inappropriate timing, phimosis may occur again as the child grows up.
2. The possibility of surgical failure. During surgery, due to the child's young age and lack of understanding, the doctor was unable to perform the surgery effectively, resulting in the child moving around and causing re adhesion.
3. Improper postoperative care can pose certain risks. Although pediatric phimosis dilation surgery is a minor procedure, postoperative care is also important. Care should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, with frequent dressing changes, cleaning, and cleanliness to prevent infection.
Parents are very concerned that the disease of phimosis in children may affect the development of their reproductive organs and have a lifelong impact. Little do they know that the foreskin can protect the baby's reproductive organs from infection, and circumcision is more harmful to children when they are young. Therefore, it is not recommended for younger children to undergo circumcision. And combined with the harm of circumcision and dilation surgery, it is not difficult to know that the choice of time for this surgery is very important.
