What is the best age to have circumcision surgery?

Many children have a foreskin that is too long. This is a normal condition. You only need to observe the child's foreskin to see if it will improve during the child's growth process. If the foreskin is not improved by the age of six or seven, surgery is necessary. The best time to perform surgery is when the child is about six years old. Try not to choose a circumcision during puberty, because it will cause great embarrassment and trouble to the child if a circumcision is performed during puberty.

1. If a child has a long foreskin, it will not only be easy to hide dirt, but more importantly, the foreskin will seriously affect the development of their genitals. While causing serious impact on their genital development, there is also a risk of breeding a large number of bacteria. Therefore, if the foreskin is too long, surgical intervention is necessary. Moreover, this type of surgical treatment is a complete surgical treatment and will not pose any life threat to the child, so parents can rest assured.

2. If a child is found to have foreskin that is too long when he is two or three years old, it is not advisable to perform surgery at this stage. You can observe for two or three years to see whether the foreskin will improve. Because under normal circumstances, along with the development trend of the male genitals, the foreskin will be improved. If the foreskin is too long and has not improved by the age of five or six, surgery is necessary.

3. If a child needs circumcision surgery, the selection of the age for surgery is also very critical. It is more appropriate to arrange surgery when the child is around 6-7 years old. The circumcision surgery must be done before the child reaches puberty, because if the child undergoes circumcision surgery after puberty, it will cause him some embarrassment and confusion.

Phimosis surgery has been very well developed in China. It can be treated in the urology department of a general tertiary hospital or a pediatric hospital. Parents do not need to worry too much about the quality indicators and risks of surgical treatment. It is a relatively low-risk surgical treatment. The actual operation can be completed in 40 minutes. After the operation, pay attention to rehabilitation treatment and maintenance to avoid bacterial infection. Generally, all repairs can be completed within one month.
