In the past, children were treated by circumcision, which resulted in permanent penile exposure and foreskin scars, which not only affected the appearance but also the quality of life of adults later. In the past decade, we have used balloon catheter expansion to treat more than 10,000 cases of pediatric circumcision, and the results have been clinically verified to be satisfactory.
At the same time, in the treatment of the child’s psychological state, and psychological intervention is also very important. Children’s hearts are mostly accompanied by fear and anxiety. Children do not understand balloon catheter dilatation and worry that the treatment will affect their studies, so they have a sense of fear and anxiety, and some children show fear, avoidance and non-cooperation, while younger children are more obvious, crying and resistance. However, most of the children can understand the danger of pediatric prepuce and the necessity of balloon catheter treatment, and can actively cooperate with the doctor for quality treatment. Parental psychology, worrying about whether the child can tolerate the pain of surgery, whether anesthesia will be unexpected, postoperative complications affecting the child’s learning and development, because he does not understand the method of balloon dilatation. The parental psychological strong state will obviously affect the mentality of the affected child. And there is a fluke mentality, thinking that pediatric prepuce will disappear naturally when he grows up, so he takes a more negative attitude toward treatment. In my clinical work, I often see foreskin infection due to prepuce. Urethritis, resulting in difficulty in urination, scar contracture, small penis, etc., when the parents bring the child to the hospital for treatment. At this time began to actively cooperate with treatment, eager to treat early.
In the past, early circumcision of pediatric prepuce was advisable, but it needed to be performed under general anesthesia, which caused great damage and complications such as anesthesia accidents, and was not easily accepted by the parents of the children. In the treatment, I learned that we must be kind to the children and parents. Caring, considerate, talk to them more, gentle, fast, accurate, 2 minutes in the operation in the knot speed, the heavier children in the treatment, so as to reduce the fear of the children, after the operation of the children’s parents must daily morning and evening erythromycin eye ointment, coated for two weeks, come to the hospital to review, two weeks after the daily rinse, three months to review once to observe penile development.
In short, pediatric prepuce is a relatively common disease, but if not period preventive treatment, will affect the reproductive health of children, pediatric external genitalia is very sensitive organ, it is as sensitive as the cornea, a little discomfort will appear frequent urination, painful urination. Poor urination. Therefore, pediatric prepuce is a problem that cannot be ignored in today’s society.
