The summer has arrived, many parents worry about their baby boy’s little JJ, repeatedly infected, playing the drip is not good, frequent urination, each time only a little, each time you urinate, the little JJ bulge like a ball, the urethra is only the size of a needle point, urine long and thin, or every time you pee pain, the foreskin mouth swollen watery, occasionally the foreskin mouth can also flow “The pus can also flow from the foreskin.
In this case, take the child to the hospital, the doctor will most likely recommend that the child has a prepuce, circumcision problems, have to be circumcised. Many parents found that the holidays to circumcision is really quite a lot, just like a trend, this period of time, several children’s hospitals in Shanghai urology department is indeed to be crowded, a lot of late appointments for children this holiday look like it is hopeless, but really so many need to cut the foreskin? Many parents have the suspicion of blindly following the trend, and they don’t know if they need to be cut.
At present, the criteria for pediatric circumcision are still different, and the country is still basically based on whether there are symptoms, such as being circumcised, overly long foreskin, which triggers recurrent infections, affects urination, the formation of scars at the mouth of the foreskin, and so on, which are usually recommended to be cut. However, not all children need surgery, and it is still up to the doctor to determine whether the child needs it, but some medical institutions have the problem of over-medication and will do it for you no matter what the situation is. Because of this, many parents are also confused as to whether they should be cut or not. Physiologically speaking, almost 100% of male babies born with physiological prepuce, in foreign countries of Jewish faith are required to circumcise newborns after birth, in the United States, the proportion of newborn circumcision is also quite high, and some studies have shown that in countries where circumcision is practiced, the incidence of penile cancer is very low. However, in China, the main criterion is still the presence or absence of symptoms. After the age of 5, if a child still has circumcision, the probability of natural improvement is low and surgery should be considered. If there are recurrent infections previously, surgery should also be performed early.
At Children’s Medical Center, circumcision is basically done as an outpatient procedure, which is very mature and takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. The procedure is done by putting in a special collar and completing the circumcision after the tissue cut by the collar has gradually necrotic fallen off, and the edges of the foreskin are relatively flat. The entire procedure takes about 15 days, slightly increasing or decreasing depending on the thickness of the child’s skin, and if it takes more than three weeks for the device to fall off on its own, it needs to be removed by the doctor on a case-by-case basis.
Because it is an outpatient surgery, children who make appointments generally need to have no underlying illnesses, no heart or lung diseases or other important organs. For children with prepuce, there is quite a lot of exudation on the glans surface 1-3 days after surgery, which needs to be cleaned up in time, otherwise infection is easily induced, and most of the edema of the foreskin needs 1-2 months to recover on its own after surgery.
For now, in the Children’s Medical Center every year during the holidays there are a large number of school-age children who come to make appointments. In order to be able to recover well during the holidays, we generally recommend making appointments in advance, during the holidays while the children have a longer period of free time and wear less, and it is easy to take care of them after the operation, so it is not difficult to understand that there are piles of circumcision.
