Summer vacation is just around the corner
Whether to "circumcision" your child
It has become a hot topic among parents
Does the foreskin need to be circumcised?
What kind of situation must be cut?
At what age does a child need to be circumcised?
Don't worry, these questions
Heng Xiaosheng invited everyone
Zhang Zhiyuan, Director of the Department of Urology, Shenzhen Hengsheng Hospital
Take you to find the answer together
The foreskin, like the garment worn on the tintin.
There are generally three morphologies: normal, excessively long, and phimosis.
1.
The foreskin is normal
The glans penis can be completely exposed, with the foreskin not covering the glans.
2.
The foreskin is too long
The foreskin completely encloses the glans penis, and the foreskin needs to be turned out with the help of external force to fully expose the glans.
3.
phimosis
The foreskin tightly encloses the glans penis, and even external force cannot reveal the glans and urethral opening.
so
Do I have to be circumcised if my foreskin is too long?
Inconstant
Newborn baby boy
Nine times out of ten, it's phimosis
As the child develops
Most of the phimosis will get better
If it's just plain too long
Excision is not necessary
Because it provides physical protection for the tintin
Stimulation can also play a role in promoting sexual function
However, if there are any of the following:
It is recommended to go to the urology department
1.
Repeated inflammation and redness of the foreskin opening, frequent hand grasping of the penis, crying during urination, thin urine line, skewed direction, bulging foreskin at the front of JJ, last dripping of urine, and frequent wetness of underwear.
2.
School-age children have frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, obvious smegma in the foreskin, and chronic inflammatory stimulation leading to inattention and hyperactivity.
3.
In children over 5 years of age, the foreskin opening is still severely narrow and cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis and coronal sulcus.
04
Because phimosis affects the development of the glans of the penis, JJ is significantly smaller than that of children of the same age.
Isn't circumcision scary?
In fact, it is a very mature minor surgery
There are many ways to deal with long foreskin or phimosis
It can be done in a few minutes at the earliest
Here are a few of them
1.
The industry's most acclaimed circumcision of the foreskin stapler - cutting and titanium nail anastomosis, commonly known as "gun", only takes a few minutes to operate, and can be recovered in about a week after surgery, but the cost is slightly higher.
2.
If you want to be more affordable, you can also consider traditional circumcision – a traditional surgical procedure in which the circumcision is circumcised followed by sutures of the incision. Its advantage is that it is suitable for all phimosis, long foreskin, and can simultaneously deal with foreskin adhesions, incarceration, penile frenulum too short, urethral cyst, and fast postoperative recovery. However, compared with "shooting", the operation is much more complicated, the operation takes about 20-30 minutes, and the recovery period is a little longer.
3.
There is also a method that does not require cutting, circumcision, commonly known as "ring", the operation time is only a few minutes, and there is basically no bleeding during and after the operation. However, it takes a long time for the foreskin ring to fall off after surgery, usually 2-3 weeks.
In addition, for some patients who do not need to be circumcised, but only need to enlarge the foreskin opening and separate the foreskin adhesions, circumcision can be selected.
However, Heng Xiaosheng still has to remind
Circumcision is only a minor operation
Anesthesia is also required
There will be wounds after the operation, and a recovery period is required
Therefore, it is still necessary to go to a regular hospital
Combine your doctor's advice with your own needs
Rational choice
A special reminder is needed
Circumcision is not a "master key"
"I cut my foreskin, can it be bigger and thicker?"
"If the foreskin is cut, can I reduce the OR and improve the sensitivity?"
"My wife dislikes me and asks me to cut the foreskin!"
……
If you don't care about impotence and premature ejaculation
It's all a pot of foreskin anyway
I want to "cut to rule forever"
That could be a disappointment
However, severe phimosis in children
It does affect the development of the glans
The foreskin should be cut as early as possible
Releases the oppressive restraint on the glans
It is conducive to the development of the glans
Many friends are curious
Why is it always in the summer
In fact, circumcision can be done all year round, and it is enough to choose a weather with a dry climate and a suitable temperature, which is conducive to keeping the surgical wound dry and breathable after the operation, and it can generally be better in one week after surgery.
Comparatively speaking, the child's time is more free during the summer vacation, and the summer post-operative care is easier and more convenient. Wear less clothes in the summer, breathable, and even run naked without pants at home.
in a word
Summer vacation is a great time for circumcision
For the sake of the child's physical and mental health
There is indeed a need
Take advantage of the summer vacation to take the children off the shackles
It's a good choice
