Today, let's talk about the "little cock" problem of children - the foreskin is too long!
Many parents want to cut their children, but it is confusing to cut or not.
If you don't cut it, you will inevitably have doubts and questions:
"I heard that the foreskin is too long, and the child's cock will not grow in the future?"
"I heard that the foreskin is dirty and dirty, and it is easy to become inflamed. ”
"I heard that foreign babies are circumcised as soon as they are born!"
If you choose to cut, it is also annoying:
"If there are no symptoms, is it really necessary for the baby to be stabbed?"
In fact, parents should not worry, the problem of children's long foreskin and phimosis cannot be simply and rudely "cut together", and the specific problems need to be analyzed specifically.
First of all, you have to know, what is long foreskin and phimosis?
What is long foreskin and phimosis?
Among them, Ding Ding is what we often call "little cocks", and testicles are "balls".
What is phimosis and long foreskin?
The left case is a normal foreskin.
The first one on the right is the case of phimosis.
Phimosis is when the foreskin and the head of the tin are adhered together, and the head of the tin is wrapped under the foreskin, and even with effort, the foreskin cannot be turned over to reveal the head of the tintin.
In the middle, the foreskin is too long, and the foreskin covers the head of Dingding, but the foreskin can be pulled off by hand.
Seeing this, parents may be worried: if the baby is in the latter two cases, will it be circumcised?
Do phimosis and foreskin that are too long need to be circumcised?
The foreskin of the child in infancy is the natural umbrella of "Little Dingding", and it is not that you can cut it if you want to.
In infancy or childhood, long foreskin or phimosis is mostly a normal physiological phenomenon.
As most boys develop, the distance between the foreskin and the head of the dings gradually widens, and the two separate. After three or four years of age, the foreskin will retract upwards on its own, the foreskin will be turned out, and the head will be slowly exposed.
Generally, boys are over 12 years old, and if the head of Ding Ding cannot be exposed, circumcision is recommended.
What are the dangers of having a long foreskin in adolescents?
1. Poor urination, there will be blister-like large bags in front of the "small dingding" when urinating, in this case, it is easy to cause inflammation, redness and swelling of the foreskin, and urinary tract infection.
2. It is easy to produce urine scale on the glans, causing pain and suppuration.
3. Children will grow up to adulthood and be susceptible to diseases.
4. It may cause a small number of boys to have "little dingding" stunted growth.
So when do you need to cut a knife?
Parents should note that if the child has these two conditions, they should consult the doctor to see if circumcision is necessary.
1. Pathological phimosis
It is caused by repeated inflammation of the foreskin due to damage or infection of the foreskin and the head of the butt.
At this time, scarring will form, which will cause the skin of the foreskin to lose its elasticity, and if it cannot be turned up after the age of 3 years, it may be pathological phimosis.
In this case, you can take your child to the hospital and let the doctor determine whether surgical intervention is needed.
2. The foreskin is too long, which leads to a series of problems
If you find that your baby's private parts are red, sore, or swollen, or your baby's foreskin is swollen when urinating, and it is difficult to urinate, you should consult a doctor to see if surgery is needed.
Is it necessary for children to be circumcised? Does every boy need to do it? At what age should it be done?
It is generally recommended to be over 12 years old. Whether the child's foreskin is to be done or not needs to be examined by a professional doctor, and it is strictly grasped that if the child at home has a long foreskin and phimosis, he can go to the hospital for examination first, and choose to be circumcised or not under the guidance of the doctor.
