Summer "Banishes" Troubles: Joint Surgery Guide Released!

Summer "Banishes" Troubles: Joint Surgery Guide Released!
Xiaole, about to start kindergarten in the middle class,
has recently encountered two "medium-level" challenges
that mark the first major hurdles in his young life.
First Challenge
Mom says he snores even at night!
Second Challenge
Dad’s expression turned awkward while giving him a bath!
The root cause lies in two tiny parts of his body.

01. Adenoid Hypertrophy: The "Stumbling Block" for Healthy Breathing
Xiaole frequently snores and breathes through his mouth at night, with noticeable nasal congestion and difficulty concentrating during the day. Tests confirmed adenoid hypertrophy.
The adenoids are lymphatic tissue located at the top of the nasopharynx, forming a critical immune defense alongside the tonsils in children’s upper airways. However, excessive adenoid growth can block the posterior nasal aperture and Eustachian tube orifices, leading to symptoms like nasal congestion, snoring, and mouth breathing.
If left untreated long-term, these issues may not only degrade sleep quality but also impair facial development, resulting in a distinct "adenoid facies," and potentially trigger complications such as sinusitis or secretory otitis media, further threatening the child’s health.
Surgical Recommendation: If adenoid hypertrophy disrupts normal growth and meets surgical criteria (refer to To Remove or Not? Size Isn’t Everything!), early surgery is advised.

02. Pediatric Foreskin: A Rite of Passage to Manhood
Xiaole’s slightly long foreskin causes mild pain during urination, frequent smegma buildup, and inflammation. His parents worry about the development of his "little friend."
Many boys have overly long foreskins or phimosis, leading to recurrent infections, urinary discomfort, or even potential sexual dysfunction in adulthood.
Surgical Recommendation: For cases of phimosis, frequent infections, significant adhesion between foreskin and glans, smegma accumulation, or urination difficulties, timely consultation and early surgery are advised to protect the health of the "little friend."
Both adenoid removal and foreskin surgery? Xiaole’s parents fretted—two surgeries, double the trouble and pain for the child!
No worries! Joint surgery allows one procedure to resolve multiple issues!

03. Joint Surgery: Two Surgeries, One Anesthetic
