The recovery process of phimosis in children

Generally speaking, children with phimosis need to be treated surgically. If surgery is not performed, smegma is likely to appear. As the baby gets older, the smegma will become more and more serious. In severe cases, the baby may suffer from balanitis, which may also affect the normal development of the child's penis. So what is the recovery process for children with phimosis?

Generally speaking, when children undergo surgical treatment for phimosis, since the area involved in the child's penis is not large, the operation will be relatively quick and the entire operation will take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. After the operation, since the superficial trauma area of ​​phimosis in children is not particularly large, it will take about 5 to 7 days to fully recover with effective care and regular dressing changes. Therefore, after the phimosis operation, it is necessary to pay attention to and adjust the care details to make the recovery faster.

After a child's phimosis surgery, the wound must be regularly dressed, and the child must eat a light and less stimulating diet, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, work less, avoid touching the penis too much, wear loose pants, etc. This will prevent the surgical wound from being stimulated or affected by external factors, and the wound can recover effectively and quickly. Although there will be some fluctuations in the time required for recovery, as long as there are no abnormal triggers, the wound can be fully healed within 7 days and other damage can be avoided.

From the above, we can see that it only takes 5 to 7 days for a child to recover after phimosis surgery. Usually after surgery, relevant adjustments must be made to dressing changes, diet, work and rest, labor, clothing, and touching behaviors to better avoid certain improper behaviors that may irritate or affect the wound. This will ensure that there will be no special effects on the wound healing effect and that the healing effect can be achieved within 7 days.
