What is the best age to do circumcision?

The male penis is covered by a layer of foreskin, which can effectively protect the male penis and glans from external friction and injury. However, when men are very young, the foreskin is often too long. At this time, they need to go to the hospital to remove the excessive foreskin, otherwise it is very likely to cause glansitis, which is very harmful to the penis. Next, I will tell you what is the best age to do circumcision.

Boys have foreskin that is too long before the age of 7, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if the foreskin is still too long after physical development is completed, timely medical treatment is required, and circumcision surgery may be necessary.

The best age to perform circumcision is during adolescence. This is because circumcision recovery is faster during adolescence, and the incision will gradually become shallower and disappear as the reproductive organ develops and grows, making it no different from normal skin tissue. After removing the excessive foreskin, the development of the penis will not be hindered, and various complications can be effectively avoided.

Even if you miss the best time, you should still have circumcision as soon as possible: If male friends miss the treatment during adolescence due to various reasons, they should also go to a professional andrology hospital for plastic surgery as soon as possible. This is mainly because smegma is very easy to form if the foreskin is too long. The harm of smegma to the male body is quite significant. In addition to inducing various diseases of the body, it can also transmit various pathogens to women through sexual life, thereby causing various gynecological inflammations and endangering the health of the partner. Therefore, as long as the foreskin is too long, medical treatment is required as soon as possible.

In addition, if a child has foreskin deformity and often suffers from glans inflammation or even urinary tract infection, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible to remove the excessive foreskin. Whether a little boy needs to be circumcised is controversial and should be carefully considered. If the baby has hypospadias, the foreskin should not be removed, because the repair of hypospadias requires the use of the foreskin.
