How to treat phimosis in children

The treatment of phimosis in children should be individualized based on specific circumstances. 1. Local cleaning is a fundamental measure to maintain penile hygiene and reduce the risk of infection. Parents should gently clean the child's glans and coronal sulcus with warm water at least once daily. 2. Behavioral therapy helps children establish proper urination posture through professional training, alleviates anxiety, corrects不良 habits, and reduces urinary difficulties caused by psychological factors. 3. For pharmacological treatment, if inflammation is present, antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin ointment or mupirocin ointment may be applied as prescribed to prevent secondary infections. 4. Surgical treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon removes the excessively long foreskin while preserving part of the skin over the glans and coronal sulcus, thereby eliminating tissue that obstructs urination or compromises hygiene.
