Recognizing Phimosis or Phimosis in Children<\/a><\/h3>
In general, phimosis is a normal condition in children. The definition of phimosis or phimosis is an abnormality in the structure of the penis which is characterized by the foreskin of the penis not being completely separated from the head of the penis. This condition is what the general public calls children who have not been circumcised, especially children under 3 years of age. After that, the foreskin will loosen by itself so that it can be moved or pulled behind the head of the penis. In fact, the foreskin will fall off by itself as the child gets older. But don't try to remove it yourself because there is a risk of causing a disorder called paraphimosis. However, in many cases, phimosis can cause blockage and inflammation of the penis. \n\n \n\n Phimosis has the risk of causing balanitis which can be characterized by symptoms, including: \n- Feeling pain when urinating \n- Removes thick fluid from the foreskin \n- There is blood in the urine \n- There is a white line around the head of the penis \n- The head of the penis is red and swollen and the head of the penis feels sore \n- Feeling pain in the lower pelvis \n\n \n\n If symptoms appear that need to be alerted, immediately consult a doctor. When consulting a doctor, the doctor will ask about the symptoms you are experiencing and continue with a physical examination, especially of the penis. After that, the doctor will determine the treatment steps to be undertaken, without requiring supporting examinations. The type of treatment given by the doctor will be adjusted to the age and level of severity experienced by the patient. Medical treatment can also be done by applying corticosteroid drugs and undergoing a circumcision or circumcision procedure. \n\n \n\n The steps to prevent phimosis are: \n• Clean the penis using clean water slowly and dry the penis regularly to prevent infection of the penis. \n• Also avoid using ingredients that can cause irritation to vital organ areas, such as soap, perfume and deodorant. \n• Undergo circumcision or circumcision procedures early. \n\n \n\n If your little one experiences similar symptoms, you can immediately consult a specialist surgeon at Hermina Solo Hospital so that you can get the right treatment according to your child's condition. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it true that phimosis and circumcision are the same?<\/a><\/h3>
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin (part of the skin covering the tip of the penis) cannot be retracted so that the skin covers the opening or urethra, causing pain during urination. The foreskin of the male penis should be flexible enough to be pulled back over the head. However, in people with phimosis, the foreskin is tightly attached to the head of the penis and cannot be pulled back. This condition usually occurs in children or adult men who have not been circumcised. In addition, the narrowed foreskin of the penis also causes dirt to be deposited inside the foreskin and the head of the penis. If this dirt accumulates over a long period of time, it will cause infection. \n\n In severe infections, the symptoms can be quite disturbing, such as redness, swelling, and even pain on the skin of the penis. If phimosis is left untreated, it can also lead to difficulty urinating and problems with sexual intercourse later in life. So should people with phimosis be circumcised or circumcised? In the early stages of treatment, doctors usually prescribe some medications for people with phimosis. However, if the infection persists despite the prescribed medication, the doctor will most likely recommend circumcision or khitan. So it can be said that circumcision or circumcision is usually the last treatment suggestion that can be made. Circumcision significantly reduces the incidence of urinary tract infections caused by phimosis. Circumcision is also age-independent, so children with phimosis at any age can be circumcised immediately to prevent infection, of course after consulting a specialist. \n\n Although the cause of phimosis is still unknown, it is believed that the condition is related to genetic factors. Remember that the symptoms can be seen as early as childhood or from birth. Phimosis can be prevented mainly by keeping the penis clean and avoiding risk factors. There are several ways to prevent phimosis as follows: \n- Perform early circumcision. \n- Routinely clean the penis using clean water slowly. \n- To clean the skin under the foreskin, pull the foreskin slowly and do not pull the foreskin too hard, as it can cause pain and injury. \n\n Phimosis is a structural disorder of the penis that can interfere with sexual function in adult men. If you experience any of the symptoms above, please visit the nearest Hermina Hospital in your city to get the right diagnosis and treatment from our doctors. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

5 benefits of circumcision that you need to know<\/a><\/h3>
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves removing the pleura or skin that covers the head of the penis in a man. In addition to having a religious value, circumcision also has important health benefits that you need to know. In this article, we will discuss five benefits of circumcision that you should know, especially in relation to the health of your child. \n\n 1. Reduces the risk of infection \n\n One of the main benefits of circumcision is reducing the risk of infection. The bubble that covers the head of the penis can be a breeding place for bacteria and germs that can cause infection. By lifting the bubble through circumcision, the risk of infection can be significantly reduced. \n\n 2. Preventing health problems \n\n Circumcision can also help prevent health problems associated with constipation in children. Some of the problems that can be avoided through circumcision include phimosis, a condition in which the pleura cannot be easily pulled back into the head of the penis, and balanitis, which is inflammation in the penis head. By doing circumcision, children can be avoided from this health problem. \n\n 3. Improve hygiene \n\n By lifting the pleura through circumcision, the hygiene of the penis area can also be improved. The bubbles that cover the head of the penis can cause accumulation of dirt and bacteria, which can cause unpleasant odors and other hygiene problems. By doing circumcision, the genital area becomes easier to clean and hygiene is easier to keep. \n\n 4. Reduces the risk of cancer \n\n Circumcision has also been shown to reduce the risk of cancer in men. Some studies have shown that men who are circumcised have a lower risk of developing penis cancer. \n\n 5. Improve quality of life \n\n Lastly, circumcision can also improve the quality of life of men. Some men report that they feel more comfortable and confident after being circumcised. In addition, the circumcision also improves men's sexual life, because the skin that covers the head of the penis has been lifted. \n\n By reducing the risk of infection, preventing health problems, improving hygiene, reducing cancer risk, and improving the quality of life, circumcision can be a good choice for children. However, the decision to do circumcision should be carefully considered and discussed with the doctor to ensure appropriate benefits and risks. \n\n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Male circumcision: when is the right time?<\/a><\/h3>
Many already know that, apart from being obligatory for Muslim men, circumcision has many health benefits, such as preventing urinary tract infections and phimosis, or pain on the head of the penis due to the foreskin or the scalp of the penis, which is firmly attached to the head of the penis. In addition, circumcision can also reduce the occurrence of penile cancer and, of course, make the health of the penis better. Besides that, infection can also inhibit the growth of a child's weight, so that it is not in accordance with the development of his age. \n\n \n\n What is the right age for circumcision? \n\n Many parents are afraid their children will be circumcised when they are babies, or even vice versa. Actually, there is no standard age at which it is right to perform circumcision. However, on the medical side, it's actually better if it's done earlier because healing will be faster. Children are still not very active, so most don't need general anesthesia. \n\n \n\n Myth or Fact: do circumcised children grow bigger or taller faster? \n\n Circumcision is simply the act of removing the foreskin, or prepuce, of the scalp of the penis. There are no specific hormones that trigger weight gain or height. In Indonesia, the average male circumcision is at the age of pre-puberty, around the age of 8–9 years, so it seems as if it makes the child look bigger and taller after being circumcised. \n\n \n\n What should parents pay attention to after a child is circumcised? \n\n Of course, parents must maintain the cleanliness of the postoperative area so that infection does not occur. Avoid exposure to water for about 4–5 days. The wound will usually dry in 4-5 days. During this time, parents will be given education on how to treat surgical scars, such as by applying ointment. It is recommended that children be given nutritious food with high protein content to accelerate the wound healing process after surgery. \n\n \n\n So, there is no reason for fathers and mothers to delay their little one from having a circumcision. Because there are so many benefits. It would be better if the circumcision procedure was carried out in consultation with an expert, such as a pediatric surgeon. \n\n \n\n Watch the Hermina Podcast episode about the full benefits of circumcision from Dr. Nanok Edi Susilo, Sp. BA, on the Hermina Hospitals YouTube channel (Click Here). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
