The baby immediately caught the attention of its mother upon birth. Many parents who give birth to boys pay special attention to their babies' little chicks. Many parents are very worried when they see their baby's penis wrapped in the outer layer of the penis and cannot see the penis head, thinking it is phimosis. So what should I do if a one month old baby has phimosis?
In fact, when a baby's penis is just born, the head of the penis is wrapped in the foreskin, which is a physiological protection for the penis by the foreskin of the baby, and is not considered phimosis. In fact, before the age of five, the foreskin will wrap around the penis and the penis will not be exposed. After the baby reaches the age of five, the foreskin of the male baby's penis begins to retract, and the glans gradually emerges. During adolescence, the penis begins to develop and the head of the penis begins to protrude. If the glans penis still cannot be exposed at this time, then the baby may have phimosis. So there is no such thing as phimosis in a one month old baby, and no surgical measures need to be taken for treatment.
A one month old baby cannot be diagnosed with phimosis. To be diagnosed with phimosis, it can only be determined after the age of five or after the age of 12 during puberty. But if a one month old baby urinates in small drops, then immediate surgery is needed to remove the foreskin. The surgical procedure is simple and will not have any adverse effects on a one month old baby.
