Whether a child is circumcised or not can be determined by physical examination, visual inspection, and observation of symptoms. Hypercircumcision means that the foreskin completely covers the head of the penis and the opening of the urethra.
1. Physical examination: when a child is in a standing or lying position, if the foreskin covers the entire glans and can be turned up by hand to expose the penis completely, it can be diagnosed as phimosis.
2. Visual examination: Due to the presence of sebaceous glands in the foreskin, sebum will be secreted, and phimosis will lead to long-term accumulation of sebum under the foreskin, forming small white lumps, which can be the size of a grain of rice or a peanut when observed with the naked eye. If there is circumcision, there may be redness and swelling of the foreskin, itching and pain, and pus flow.
3. Symptom observation: As the foreskin completely covers the urethral opening, there may be difficulty in urination, such as slow and small urine flow, and puffing up of the foreskin during urination, etc., which can be considered as the presence of phimosis.
Therefore, parents should be aware of the above situation and pay attention to whether their children will have the above symptoms in time, so as to facilitate timely medical treatment and avoid aggravation of the symptoms.
