In fact, it is normal for 3-year-old children to have phimosis and adhesions. Many people think that children need to undergo circumcision because their foreskin or phimosis is too long, which can cause pain or inflammation when they urinate. Doctors usually recommend that children do it when they are older, but how should 3-year-old children handle phimosis and adhesions?
What should I do if a 3-year-old child has phimosis and adhesions
When the adhesion of the foreskin is severe, circumcision can be used for treatment, often due to adhesion between the inner plate of the foreskin skin and the coronal sulcus and glans. This is the result of repeated episodes of balanoposthitis, where inflammation causes a large amount of inflammatory exudate, which is absorbed and leads to adhesions.
Careful separation is necessary during surgery, otherwise there may be variations in the appearance of the glans penis. Some patients may experience varying shades of pigmentation on the glans skin after separation surgery, leading to the appearance of flower spots.
How to care for 3-year-old children with phimosis adhesion
Parents must pay attention that when cleaning their babies' private parts, they only need to rinse them clean with running water. Do not artificially retract the foreskin to avoid causing harm to the baby;
If there is a situation where the baby's foreskin is artificially retracted, remember to restore it in a timely manner. Otherwise, the baby's penis is easily affected by the foreskin not being restored in time, which can cause local blood circulation and lead to congestion, and even serious consequences such as penile necrosis.
It is indeed common for 3-year-old children to have phimosis and adhesions, and this is usually the case for children at this time. It is also beneficial for protecting phimosis, so bacteria cannot enter. Therefore, when this situation occurs, no special treatment is needed, but it is necessary to do a good job of cleaning and hygiene. In addition, do not retract the foreskin, as it can easily cause injury to the child!
