A member asked:
Is penile adhesion in a 5 year old serious?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No not serious: Most of the time the adhesions between fore skin and glans will resolve , forceful breaking of adhesions will cause pain and bleeding , most of the time will disappear by teen age

Discuss with Ur doc: This varies with the adhesion.Some are at the margin and seldom require any treatment. Some form a bridge that traps debris and will eventually lead to problems. Evaluation by a pediatric urologist would be my next step. I send about one every other year for this.
