Foreskin care
|
| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
Foreskin care is important for babies, boys and men. The foreskin is the sheath of skin that covers the head (glans) of the penis. Medical conditions of the foreskin include infection, phimosis, paraphimosis and zipper injury. Circumcision is sometimes recommended for older boys and men who have ongoing foreskin problems, such as infection, that don't respond to other forms of treatment. Circumcision usually requires epidural or general anaesthesia and about six weeks of recovery.
