Children should not do phimosis too early when * appropriate? For this problem, experts said that children before the age of 10 generally do not advocate surgery, and children between the ages of 10 and 16 do well in prepuce surgery. This period is also the time to grow up, and after the prepuce surgery, it does not delay the child's continued growth. Now let's talk about the age selection of children's phimosis surgery and postoperative nursing knowledge.

For congenital phimosis in infancy, parents can clean and care at home. First, turn the foreskin up repeatedly to expand the mouth of the foreskin. This process should be soft and stop each time, so as not to cause pain to the child. When the penis head is exposed, clean the foreskin dirt, and then restore the foreskin, otherwise it will lead to incarceration of the phimosis. If the prepuce mouth is very tight, can not turn up or acquired phimosis, circumcision should be performed. The operation should be performed at the age of 5 to 6 years, because it can be seen whether the foreskin can shrink by itself.

Because the penis of the child has not developed normally, only after puberty, if the foreskin is still too long or phimosis, surgery is needed, and the child does not know how to cooperate when he is too young. In addition, it may shrink by itself. But if it is repeatedly infected, or has scars, or has incarcerated phimosis, it is not restricted to age.

The good age for phimosis surgery is between 10 and 16 years old. If the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs as a child, the surgery cannot be performed too early, because the penis is not fully developed at this time, and phimosis surgery can also be performed after adulthood or marriage. Generally, there is no age limit.

After surgery, after the anesthetic effect subsides, there will be slight pain and swelling in the wound. You should take medicine regularly. Usually, the symptoms will subside after three days, and the wound will recover after seven to ten days. Before the wound is healed, follow up and recheck regularly according to the doctor's instructions. In addition, the wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation. Please be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. If the gauze is soaked by urine, remove the gauze first, and then return to the clinic for dressing change.

When is it appropriate for children to have phimosis surgery? The above is the introduction of this issue, and I hope it can be used for reference. In childhood, children were ignorant and did not realize the harm in this regard. Parents must pay attention to it.
