How should scalp expansion be performed on children?

Phimosis is a common problem in men's private parts. If the foreskin is not treated, it will greatly affect men's normal sexual life. The same is true for children. If a child has foreskin that is too long, it will affect the normal development of the child's reproductive organs, which may affect his future sexual life. Therefore, children with foreskin that is too long need to be treated in time. The editor provides you with the following treatment methods for your reference only.

The hazards of excessive foreskin can be roughly divided into the following points:

1. If the foreskin is too long and is not removed in time, it may affect the quality of sexual life. Repeated foreskin inflammation can easily lead to adhesion between the glans and the foreskin, which will restrict the erection of the penis and cause pain during sexual intercourse. This will not only cause disharmony in the sexual life of couples, but also lead to psychogenic sexual dysfunction.

2. Excessively long foreskin can cause various inflammations. Although an excessively long foreskin will not affect urination, it can harbor dirt and filth. Long-term irritation of the glans penis by smegma, especially the coronal sulcus, can easily cause balanitis and penile inflammation. Ascending bacterial infection in the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, pyelonephritis and prostatitis.

3. Excessive foreskin causes infertility. Prostatitis caused by smegma infection can affect the motility of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen, which can cause infertility.

4. This disease causes incarcerated phimosis. When the penis is erect, the foreskin is too long and cannot be turned down after being turned up, and the foreskin opening gets stuck on the glans, forming incarcerated phimosis. At this time, the glans will become edematous due to poor blood flow, and in severe cases, glans necrosis may occur.

Phimosis is very harmful, so it is best for patients to undergo circumcision as soon as possible in order to restore their health.

Treatment method: Clinically, there are many methods of circumcision. The most commonly used method is a single circumcision of the inner and outer layers of the foreskin, followed by separate circumcision of the inner and outer layers. This is an open surgery, the purpose of which is to completely expose the glans penis through surgery so that infection will not be caused by leaving dead corners.

It is not terrible for children to have foreskin that is too long. It only needs to be removed in time. Generally speaking, if the child is too young, foreskin that is too long will not have much impact, because the child's penis can only develop normally when he is about 3 years old. The editor reminds parents to pay more attention to observation in normal times.
