How to take care of a child with foreskin that is too long?

When many parents find that their children’s foreskin is too long, they will be very worried about the impact on their children’s physical health, and immediately think of performing a circumcision on their children. The fact is that too long foreskin can cause some harm to the body, but this depends on the specific situation and how to deal with it. For many children, surgery is not necessary for excessive foreskin. As long as they pay attention to observation and care in life, there are the following points for the care of children with excessive foreskin:

1. Note 1

Before the boy's foreskin has not yet developed, parents can consciously turn up the child's foreskin to reveal the coronal sulcus of the penis. As the boy's penis gradually develops, the foreskin may no longer be too long. However, after each turn, the foreskin must be reset to avoid accidental penile erection and foreskin incarceration.

2. Note 2

Wash the penis frequently, turn the foreskin over, remove the smegma, and keep the coronal sulcus of the penis clean;

3. Note three

Every time you urinate, it is best to pinch the foreskin of the penis with two fingers and push the foreskin upward to expose the urethral opening so that urine can be discharged directly from the urethral opening to avoid urine remaining in the foreskin and inducing infection.

4. Note four

The area where the foreskin covers the glans is prone to produce a large amount of harmful substances, and is an area that needs to be cleaned specifically. Therefore, parents should often gently turn back their children's foreskin, expose the glans, and wash it with clean warm water. Also, when cleaning, be gentle and avoid using liquids and soaps containing medicinal ingredients to avoid causing trauma, irritation, and allergic reactions. After cleaning, wipe it clean slowly and turn the foreskin over gradually. This is one of the ways to care for children with excessive foreskin.
