How old is a boy when he is circumcised?

Phimosis refers to the fact that the foreskin of a boy's penis is too long to cover the penis, which has a certain impact on the child's physical and reproductive health. If the foreskin is too long, it is difficult to clean, and a lot of urine scale will accumulate, bacteria will grow more, and it is easy to get inflammation. So, at what age should a boy be circumcised?

Generally, it is best to do circumcision between the ages of ten and fourteen. When a child is young, the foreskin may be too long and cover the male genitals, but as the child grows up, the male genitals may gradually be exposed, which is a pseudo-phimosis. In order to avoid confusing pseudo-phimosis with true prepuce, circumcision should be performed when the child is over ten years old. When the child reaches this age, the male's development is more complete and it is possible to distinguish whether it is true prepuce.

After a child enters puberty, if the glans penis cannot be exposed normally from the foreskin after the penis erection, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. It is best to perform it before the age of 14 to prevent the foreskin from storing too much stains, which are difficult to clean. Men with foreskin problems should pay more attention to the removal of urine scale in daily life, and should push the foreskin back as much as possible to clean the stains in the folds.

After a child has undergone circumcision surgery, it is best to keep the affected area dry, change the dressing on time, eat a light diet, and rest more. Do not touch the affected area hard, and wear jeans that are as loose and breathable as possible. Pay attention to controlling sexual excitement and reducing genital erection.

With the rapid development of medicine and the advancement of treatment technology, the age limit for surgical treatment is getting smaller and smaller. Generally, surgical removal can be performed at around 8 years old. If inflammation occurs, treatment can be carried out according to the child's condition. For example, if the child has better self-control and is not likely to touch the genitals indiscriminately, circumcision surgery can be performed. If the child is found to have an excessively long foreskin and has not retracted at the age of 8, it is recommended to treat it as soon as possible, no later than 16 years old, so as not to affect the normal growth and development of the child's genitals. If the patient is already over 16 years old and has a short penis, don't give in and think that you are hopeless. Go to a reliable hospital immediately to have the foreskin removed. If the growth and development is delayed, the male genitals may continue to grow.
